We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke 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, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply. We observe the statutory retention periods for the storage and deletion of personal data.
Receiver
As part of our business activities, we work together with various external bodies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary in the context of fulfilling a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c) GDPR (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors – such as for hosting this website – we only pass on the personal data of our customers, suppliers or other third parties on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint controllership agreement is concluded.
Note on data transfer
As far as possible, we process your personal data exclusively within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, it is possible that the use of tools, for example, may result in data being transferred to third countries, i.e. outside the EU and the EEA – including to the USA.
We ensure that appropriate measures are in place to protect your data through agreements such as the standard contractual clauses or ensuring that adequacy decisions are in place.
With the USA, for example, there is an adequacy decision on data transfer – the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). This decision allows companies to obtain certification in the USA to prove that they have an adequate level of data protection. If companies with which we work and which are based in the USA are not certified under this, we ensure that standard contractual clauses have been concluded.
If you have any questions on this topic, please do not hesitate to contact us using the contact details above.

How user data is protected on YouTube – How does YouTube work?
(2) We maintain publicly accessible profiles in various social networks. Your visit to these profiles triggers a large number of data processing operations. Below we provide you with an overview of which of your personal data we collect, use and store when you visit our profiles. Personal data is information that can be assigned to you as a specific person (e.g. name, age, address, photos, e-mail addresses, possibly also IP addresses). We will also inform you of your rights with regard to the processing of your personal data. You are not obliged to provide us with your personal data. However, this may be necessary for individual functionalities of our profiles in social networks. These functionalities are not available to you, or only to a limited extent, if you do not provide us with your personal data.
When you visit our profiles, your personal data is collected, used and stored not only by us, but also by the operators of the respective social network. This happens even if you yourself do not have a profile in the respective social network. The individual data processing operations and their scope differ depending on the operator of the respective social network and they are not necessarily traceable for us. For details on the collection and storage of your personal data as well as the type, scope and purpose of its use by the operator of the respective social network, please refer to the data protection declarations of the respective operator.
(3) The data collected about you in this context will be processed by the platforms and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union, in particular the USA. According to their own statements, all of the aforementioned providers maintain an adequate level of data protection that corresponds to that of the former EU-US Privacy Shield and we have concluded the standard data protection clauses with the companies. We do not know how the social media platforms use the data from your visit to our account and interaction with our posts for their own purposes, how long this data is stored and whether data is passed on to third parties. Data processing may differ depending on whether you are registered and logged in to the social network or whether you visit the site as a non-registered and/or non-logged-in user. When you access a post or the account, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to the provider of the social media platform. If you are currently logged in as a user, a cookie on your end device can be used to track how you have moved around the network. Buttons integrated into websites enable the platforms to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your respective profile. This data can be used to tailor content or advertising to you. If you want to avoid this, you should log out or deactivate the “stay logged in” function, delete the cookies on your device and restart your browser.
(4) If you use our profiles in social networks to contact us (e.g. by creating your own posts, responding to one of our posts or sending us private messages), the data you provide to us, such as contact details, will be processed by us exclusively for the purpose of contacting you. The legal basis for data collection is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) and b) GDPR.
(5) To exercise your rights as a data subject, you can contact us or the provider of the social media platform. If one party is not responsible for responding or must receive the information from the other party, we or the provider will then forward your request to the respective partner. Please contact the operator of the social media platform directly if you have any questions about profiling and the processing of your data when using the website. If you have any questions about the processing of your interaction with us on our site, please write to the contact details we have provided above.
- Customers and suppliers

In this respect, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para.1 lit. f) GDPR is supported. The controller’s interest lies in the administration and processing of the joint contractual relationship, customer care, information service and advertising.
If there is a direct contract with the party whose data is being processed, the processing of the data described above in relation to the management of the contractual relationship – with the exception of advertising – is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR take place.
In principle, the provision of your data is not required by law, but we need this information in part to fulfill the contract. Without personal data, cooperation can only be guaranteed to a very limited extent.
However, we may be legally obliged to process your personal data, for example to comply with retention periods (Art.6 Para.1 lit. c) GDPR).
In individual cases, processing may also be based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para.1 lit. a) GDPR, we expressly point this out and ask for your consent. The decision is always voluntary and there are no negative consequences if you decide against it. The controller will use consent in particular for advertising measures, for example for sending newsletters. If this is done, you will also be informed separately about the right of withdrawal in each advertising approach and you can usually exercise the right of withdrawal directly via a corresponding link.
If the processing is based on special national regulations, we will inform you of this separately.
- Applications
Handling 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 process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG 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 processed on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship in our data processing systems.
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 is then deleted and the physical application documents are destroyed. The storage 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.
Data may also be stored for longer if you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
