Notice regarding data transfer to the USA

Our website integrates tools from companies based in the USA, among others. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. Please note that the USA is not a third country with adequate data protection under EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against it. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that has already been given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the 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. You can find the respective legal basis on which processing is based 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 is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR).

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, including profiling where it is connected to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right of complaint to the responsible supervisory authority

In the event of infringements 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, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to complain shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically with your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this page uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can tell that a connection is encrypted because the browser's address bar changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the padlock icon in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion, and correction

Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free access to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us for this at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify it. 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 erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of 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 under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. As long as it is not yet 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—apart from its storage—only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Legal basis

The legal basis for processing your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes is:

Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)
Legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR)

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP anonymization

This website has enabled IP anonymization. This means your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

7. Own Services

Handling applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via our online application form). Below, 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 will be in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and your data will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies. Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Admission to the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, there may be an opportunity to include you in our applicant pool. If you are included, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you in the event of suitable vacancies. Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving your consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application process. The data subject may withdraw 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 grounds. The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted at the latest two years after consent is given.
