2. Technology
2.1 SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as contact requests, order inquiries, or login data that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains “https://” instead of “http://” 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.
3. Collection and storage of personal data
3.1 Data collection when visiting the website
When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected
- the browser types and versions used,
- the operating system used by the accessing system,
- the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (known as the referrer),
- the subpages that are accessed on our website via an accessing system,
- the date and time of access to the website,
- an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
- the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
We do not draw any conclusions about your person when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is needed in order to
- deliver the content of our website correctly,
- optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
- ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
- provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.
We therefore evaluate this collected data and information statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed below for data collection.
3.2 Data collection when contacting us via email or using the contact form
When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected in the case of a contact form can be seen in the respective contact form. The personal data entered in the input mask serves to protect our confidentiality interests and to prevent misuse of the contact form, in particular by determining who submitted a request. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, which is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary.
3.3 Data collection in application management
We collect and process applicants' personal data for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the Equal Treatment Act (GIG).
Data processing in this respect is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
4. Collection, processing, storage, and disclosure of data
Your personal data will not be collected, processed, stored, and/or transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:
- you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR,
this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR, - there is a legal obligation to disclose the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR, the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR,
- processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us, and
- the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.
5. Google Analytics analysis tool
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc. (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
The use includes the “Universal Analytics” operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions, and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user's activities across devices.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended by IP anonymization to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit marketingplatform.google.com/ or policies.google.com.
5.1 Purposes of processing
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information 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.
5.2 legal basis
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
5.3 Recipients / Categories of recipients
The recipient of the collected data is Google.
5.4 Transfer to third countries
Personal data is transferred to the US under the EU-US Privacy Shield on the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision. You can view the certificate here.
5.5 Duration of data storage
The data we send and link to cookies, user IDs (e.g., user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.
5.6 Rights of affected persons
You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by preventing the storage of cookies through the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
5.7 Objection to data collection
You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser add-on. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting data across different devices, you must opt out on all systems you use. Clicking here will set the opt-out cookie: Disable Google Analytics
6. Newsletter distribution
6.1 Newsletter distribution to existing customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range that you have already purchased by email. In accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG, we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. Data processing in this regard is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller named at the beginning. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.
6.2 Advertising newsletter
Our website offers you the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The personal data transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. You can only receive our company newsletter if
- you have a valid email address and
- you have registered for the newsletter.
For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that you, as the owner of the email address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) to the IT system you used at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any (possible) misuse of your email address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.
The personal data collected when you subscribe to the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. The consent you have given us to store your personal data for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
6.3 Newsletter tracking
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. The embedded tracking pixel allows the company to see if and when you opened an email and which links in the email you clicked on.
We store and analyze the personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to tailor the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to revoke their separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, we will delete this personal data. We automatically interpret unsubscribing from the newsletter as revocation.
Such evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of our website.

Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
7.7 Objection under Article 21 GDPR

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
In individual cases, we process personal data for direct marketing purposes. You can object to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes at any time. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to us processing your data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or a prescribed storage period expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
9. Duration of storage of personal data
