What is this about?
This privacy policy fulfills the legal requirements for transparency regarding the processing of personal data. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address, or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, for example through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g., collection, retrieval, use, storage, or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further retention of the data. We inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Regardless of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims and if statutory retention obligations exist.
Who receives my data?
We only pass on your personal data processed on our website to third parties if this is necessary for fulfilling the purposes and is covered by a legal basis (e.g., consent or protection of legitimate interests) in the individual case. Furthermore, in individual cases we pass on personal data to third parties if this serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.
If we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf within the framework of order processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, these may be recipients of your personal data. Further information on the use of processors and web services can be found in the overview of the individual processing operations.
Do you use cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device during your visit to our website and stored there. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information may also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to carry out various analyses so that we are able, for example, to recognize the browser you use when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our online offering more user-friendly and effective for you by, for example, tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g., country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs and do not contain viruses.
We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information about the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or in the consent manager of this website.
What rights do I have?
Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you, as the data subject, have the following rights:
Access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR to the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information about the details of the processing and a copy of your data;
Rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
Erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
Restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR if the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you refuse its erasure because you need it for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR if you have provided us with personal data on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and this data has been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or we will transmit the data directly to another controller where technically feasible.
Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as it is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing. The right to object does not exist if compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
Withdrawal pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR of your given consent with effect for the future.
Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace, or our company headquarters.
How is my data processed in detail?
Below we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of data processing, the legal basis, the obligation to provide your data, and the respective storage period. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling, does not take place.

Purpose and legal basis
The processing is carried out to safeguard our overriding legitimate interest in displaying our website and ensuring security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The collection of data and storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is no right to object to the processing due to the exception under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR. Insofar as further storage of log files is required by law, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data, but accessing our website is technically impossible without providing the data.
Storage period
The aforementioned data is stored for the duration of the display of the website [and for technical reasons beyond that for a maximum of [7 days]].
Contact form
Type and scope of processing
On our website, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a provided form. The information collected via mandatory fields is required to process the inquiry. In addition, you may voluntarily provide further information that you believe is necessary for processing the contact request.
When using the contact form, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
Purpose and legal basis
The processing of your data by using our contact form is carried out for the purpose of communication and processing your request on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If your inquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling the contract on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data; however, processing your request without providing the information in the mandatory fields is not possible. If you do not wish to provide this data, please contact us by other means.
Storage period
If you use the contact form on the basis of your consent, we store the data collected for each inquiry for a period of three years, beginning with the completion of your request or until you withdraw your consent.

Storage of your data in an applicant database beyond the current application process will only take place if you have given us your separate consent.
Purpose and legal basis
