Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work together with various external organisations. In some cases, it is also necessary to pass on personal data to these external organisations. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to the tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR or if another legal basis requires the transfer of data. When processing, we only pass on the personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy available.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data which we process automatically based on 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 the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
Information, correction and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, the right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.
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 to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
| If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. During the time of the check, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the to restrict data processing instead of erasing it. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defence or enforcement of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure. If you have filed an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it has not yet 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, such data may only be processed – with the exception of storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses 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.

If you submit an inquiry via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us in order to process the inquiry and to use it in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
We retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after your request has been fulfilled). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
Request by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request and all personal data (name, request) will be stored by us in order to process your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
Audio and video conferencing
Data processing
In order to communicate with our customers, we use online conference tools, among other things. The individual tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference via the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference program.
The conference tools collect all data you provide/enter to use the tools (email address and/or phone number). The conference tools also process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants and other "contextual information" related to the communication process (metadata).
In addition, the tool provider processes all technical data necessary to process online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and connection type.
If content is otherwise exchanged, uploaded or provided within the tool, it will also be stored on the tool provider's servers. Such content includes in particular cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared while using the service.
Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing of the tools used. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the data protection declarations of the tools used, which we have listed below this text.
Purpose and legal basis
The conference tools are used to communicate with potential or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been requested, the tools in question are used on the basis of this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Storage duration
The data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the administrators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For more information, please contact the administrators of the conference tools directly.
Used conference aids
We use the following conference tools:
Microsoft Teams
We use Microsoft Teams. The provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland. Further information on data processing can be found in the Microsoft Teams privacy policy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement
The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the US, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information can be obtained from the provider via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/6474
Order processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law that guarantees that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in accordance with the GDPR.
Communication via WhatsApp
For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use, among other things, the instant messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which means that WhatsApp or other third parties cannot access the communication content. However, WhatsApp does gain access to metadata generated during the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient and time). We would also like to point out that WhatsApp, according to its own statement, shares personal data of its users with its parent company Meta, which is based in the US.
Further details about data processing can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.
WhatsApp is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in communicating with customers, stakeholders and other business and contractual partners as quickly and effectively as possible (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If a corresponding consent has been requested, the data processing takes place exclusively on the basis of the consent; this can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The communication content exchanged between and on WhatsApp remains 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.
The company is certified according to the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the United States, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the United States. Every company certified according to the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information can be obtained from the provider via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/7735 .
We use WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” variant. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum
We have set up our WhatsApp accounts so that they do not automatically match data with the address book on the smartphones used.
We have concluded an order processing agreement (GDPR) with the above-mentioned provider.
Microsoft Forms
We use Microsoft Forms. The provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.
Microsoft Forms is a service that can be used to analyze responses to forms. The data you enter to obtain information is stored on the servers of Microsoft USA or Ireland. This tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in processing the data to facilitate the execution of the contract. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. For more information, please refer to Microsoft's privacy policy at: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement .
Note on data transfer to the USA: Your personal data may be transferred to Microsoft servers in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to transfer personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, analyze and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. Furthermore, Microsoft is certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (EU-US DPF) ( https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?id=a2zt0000000KzNaAAK&status=Active ).
Retention period: The data you enter on the form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Order processing: We have concluded an order processing contract with Microsoft and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Microsoft Forms.
Data transfer: Data will be transferred to locations in countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA) – so-called third countries – if this is necessary for the execution of an order/contract, if this is required by law, if this is within the scope of a legitimate interest or if consent has been given. The processing of personal data in a third country may also take place in connection with the involvement of service providers as part of order processing. If the EU Commission has not made a decision on an adequate level of data protection in the country in question, EU data protection legislation ensures that the rights and freedoms of business partners and stakeholders are adequately protected and safeguarded by means of appropriate contracts.

Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an e-mail address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The data entered into the newsletter registration form will be processed exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR.
Data stored by us for other purposes will remain unaffected by this.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
Adobe fonts
This website uses Adobe web fonts for the standardized display of certain fonts. The provider is Adobe Systems Incorporated, 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110-2704, USA (Adobe).
When you visit this website, your browser loads the required fonts directly from Adobe in order to display them correctly on your device. In doing so, your browser establishes a connection to Adobe's servers in the USA. This allows Adobe to know that this website has been accessed via your IP address. According to Adobe, no cookies are stored when the fonts are delivered.
The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the font on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR and Art. 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Processing applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application procedure. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with the 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 will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes during job interviews, etc.) to the extent that this is necessary to make a decision on entering into an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Art. 26 TDDDG 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 the processing of your application.
If the application is successful, the data you provide will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Art. 26 TDDDG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Data retention period
If we do not offer you a job, you reject a job or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) for up to 6 months after 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 becomes clear that the data will still be needed after the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted once the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Data may also be stored for longer if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Visiting our social media presence leads to numerous processing operations that are relevant for data protection. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data can also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your terminal device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing can therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For more information, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presence is intended to ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks can be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR).
Responsible Party and Enforcement of Rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing that is initiated during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).
Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the operators of the social media portals, we do not have full influence on the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage duration
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For more information, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
Your rights
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data at any time and free of charge. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the rectification, blocking, erasure and, under certain circumstances, restriction of the processing of your personal data.
