2. Your rights as a data subject

(1) You have the following rights against us with respect to the personal data concerning you:

  • Right of access by the data subject (Art. 15 GDPR):
    You have the right to request information on the data we hold about you from us at any time. This information includes, but is not limited to, the categories of data we process, the purposes for which it is processed, the source of the data if not collected directly from you, and, if applicable, the recipients with whom we have shared your data. You can obtain a copy of your data from us free of charge. If you require additional copies, we reserve the right to charge you for these copies;
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR):
    You have the right to request that we rectify inaccurate data relating to you. We will take appropriate steps to keep the data we store and process on an ongoing basis accurate, complete and current, based on the most up-to-date information available;
     
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR):
    You have the right to demand the deletion of your personal data stored with us, unless the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfil a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;
     
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR):
    You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data if the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, if the processing is unlawful but you refuse to have it deleted and we no longer need the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or if you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR;
     
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR):
    You have the right to request that we transfer your data – if technically possible – to another responsible party.

  • Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR):
    You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation, as long as data processing is based on your consent, on our legitimate interests or those of a third party.

This does not apply if we can show that there are compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, or if we need your data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
     
  • Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7 (3) GDPR):
    You have the right to revoke your consent to us at any time. As a result, we are not allowed to continue the data processing that was based on this consent in the future.

4. Cookies

(1) In addition to the beforementioned data categories we use cookies to make the experience of visiting our website as user-friendly as possible and to allow you to make use of certain functions. Cookies are little text files that are saved on your browser’s delegated hard drive, through which certain information flows back to the person who sets the cookie (in this case us). Cookies are used to improve the user experience and effectiveness of our website.

(2) Kind of Cookies

This website uses the following types of cookies:

- Transient Cookies

- Persistent Cookies

a) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These are mostly session cookies, which save a so-called “session-ID”, which allows for the assigning of different queries within your browser during a particular session. This can be used to identify your device when one repeatedly visits a website during a session. These cookies are deleted once you log out or the browser window is closed.

b) Persistent cookies enable the website to remember your information and settings on your next visit. This gives you faster and more convenient access to the website, as you do not have to change your language settings again, for example. How long the cookie remains on your device depends on the duration or expiration date of the respective cookie and your browser settings. These cookies are automatically deleted after a set period of time which can differ from cookie to cookie. Persistent cookies can be deleted via the security settings in your browser at any time.

(3) Depending on the kind of cookie, we use cookies either on the basis of our legitimate interests (technically necessary cookies) or on the basis of your consent (optional cookies), according to your selection of the cookie banner displayed when you access the website.  You can also configure your browser settings according to your preferences and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. This may result in a functional limitation of our offers.       

5. Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data

(1) Within the scope of our activities and services, it may become necessary for us to disclose the personal data stored about you to natural persons, legal entities or public authorities. We conclude contracts with our service providers, which ensure that they may only process your personal data in a way that we have explicitly instructed them to do so. Furthermore, we ensure that they take the necessary technical and organizational measures to process your data securely and store your personal data only as long as necessary. External service providers who may receive personal data generally fall into the following categories of recipients:

 - Credit institutions and providers of payment services for billing and payment processing (online payment providers)

- Parcel Shipper

- IT service provider to maintain our IT infrastructure

- Cloud provider

- Service provider for the optimization of the online offer

- Collection service providers or lawyers to collect receivables and enforce claims in court. If, in the event of a collection case, personal data (customer and contact data, payment and consumption data and data on the claim) is transferred to a collection service provider, we will inform you in advance about the intended transfer.

(2) If data is processed in countries outside the European Union or the EWR, we will ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with the European data protection level. In the absence of a decision by the EU Commission, we only transfer data to service providers from third countries that offer suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR (usually EU Standard Contract Clauses).

6. Contact form

(1) When you contact us (for example by e-mail or via the contact form), the information you provide will be processed for the purpose of processing your request and for the event that follow-up questions arise. The contact form is an additional service provided by us to enable you to contact us quickly and easily and is based on Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR.

(2) The personal data collected by us in this context will be deleted when the request associated with the contact has been completely clarified and it is also not to be expected that the specific contact will become relevant again in the future, unless legal storage obligations stand against this.

7. Appying for a job

(1) If you apply to us via our website, we process the data that you provide to us during the application process. The legal basis for this is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Art. 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR for the initiation or implementation of contractual relationships. In the event of an employment relationship between you and us begins, we process the personal data already received from you for the purpose of employment in accordance with Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG.

(2) Data is deleted as soon as there are no legal obligations to retain it and no interests worthy of protection prevail, usually after six months. If you have given your expressed consent to extend storage of your application in an applicant tool, the duration of processing extends to this period. A given consent can be revoked with effect for the future at any time.

Due to legal regulations, we cannot delete your data immediately after completing the application process.

If we cannot offer you a suitable position at this time, but we consider it possible that your application might be of interest to us or one of our companies at a later date, we will gladly offer to save your application for a longer period. We will ask you for your consent in a separate e-mail or by mail. You can object to this storage for the future at any time, resulting in your data being deleted immediately and irrevocably.

8. Social-Media, portals

(1) We are represented in the social networks and employer evaluation portals mentioned below. These presences are operated exclusively by the respective provider. They serve to communicate directly with customers, interested parties and users. If you contact us via our social media channels, we process the data that you provide us with as well as the data that is necessary to process your request (Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR). Insofar as you have given your consent to the operators of the respective social media platforms (e.g. by means of a checkbox opt-in), the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with the operator of the respective platform with effect for the future.

(2) When you visit our social media pages, your user data is recorded and provided to us by the operator. The exact types of data differ from provider to provider, but generally include the following information:

- Follower: number and stored profiles; information about growth and development over a defined time frame.

- Reach: number of people who see a specific contribution; number of interactions with a contribution. From this, it can be deduced, for example, which content is better received by the community than others.

- Ad performance: How many people were reached by a contribution or a paid ad and have interacted with it?

- Demographics: Average age of visitors, gender, location, language.

 (3) Since our social media channels are operated by the providers of the respective social network, there may be a supplementary use of your personal data by the respective operator, over which we have no influence. This often involves the recording of your IP address, the creation of static evaluations and the processing of further information stored in the form of cookies. We have no influence on the generation and presentation of this data and can neither turn off this function nor prevent the processing of the data.

(4) The assertion of data subject rights and requests can most effectively be addressed directly to the platform providers, since only they have access to your data and can take immediate action and provide information. Should our cooperation be necessary for this, we will support you in enforcing your rights as a data subject.  

(5) More detailed information about the terms of use of the respective platform as well as a detailed description of further data processing and the respective possibilities of objection can be found on the pages of the providers under:

(2) We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website in order to improve it regularly. With the statistics obtained, we can improve our offer, make it more interesting for you as a user and increase the success of our marketing campaigns. For this purpose, your usage data is recorded, e.g. your IP address, the pages you have called up (click path), conversions such as newsletter registrations or downloads, clicks, length of stay, region or the technical information on your browser. For this Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred and stored in a Google server in the US.

(3) The legal basis for this data processing is according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR your consent, which you have given via the cookie banner. Processing is performed to analyze and optimize our website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie and changing your selection there.  You can also prevent the storage of cookies by changing the settings of 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. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp". This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, which means that it is not possible for us to identify a person. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. 

(5) Google LLC, based in California, USA, and, where applicable, U.S. authorities may have access to the data stored by Google. Please see Google’s Privacy Policy for more information about the purpose and scope of the data collected and processed by Google and for further information about your privacy rights and setting options: www.google.com/policies/privacy, https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/, overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en 

You also have the possibility of deactivating the collection of your usage data for this website. In this case a special opt-out cookie is set that prevents future collection of your usage data when visiting this website: Disable Google Analytics.

10. Google Adwords Conversion

(1) This website uses Google Adwords, a web service of Google LLC. The responsible service provider in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

(2) We use Google Adwords to draw attention to our offers by means of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, how successful the individual advertising measures are. With this, we pursue the interest to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called "Ad Servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which allow us to measure certain parameters to measure success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your device. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be contacted) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie. These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords client's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the client can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords client. Cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of Adwords clients.

(3) We receive statistical evaluations from Google. By means of these evaluations we can recognize which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and save your IP address.

(4) The legal basis for this data processing is according to Art.6 para.1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR your consent, which gets collected via the cookie banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie settings and changing your selection there. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or by permanently contradicting the cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link to do so: www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

(5) Recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland as a processor. For this purpose, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and concluded the EU standard data protection clauses. Google LLC, based in California, USA, and, where applicable, U.S. authorities may have access to the data stored by Google.

11. YouTube-Videos

(1) For marketing purposes, we have embedded YouTube videos in our online offer, videos that are saved on www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. These videos are embedded using “privacy-enhanced mode”, i.e. YouTube does not set any cookies to analyze user behavior to for example personalize the video playback. Instead, video recommendations are based on the current video. Videos played in enhanced privacy mode do not affect which videos are recommended to a user on YouTube. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our Internet presence.

(2) By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have called up the corresponding subpage of our website. This results in the transmission of certain user data to YouTube. A transmission of the data to YouTube takes place regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in at Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile on YouTube, you have to log out before activating the play button. For the purpose of functionality as well as for the analysis of usage behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies via your internet browser on your end device. If you do not agree with this processing, you have the possibility to prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your internet browser settings. YouTube also stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide advertising tailored to your needs and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles, but you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. YouTube may process your personal data on servers in the US.

(3) Further information on the purpose, scope of data collection, your rights, setting options to protect your privacy and processing by YouTube is available under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en, https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=EN&template=terms&hl=en, https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en.

12. Google Maps. We use Google Maps on some of our websites. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and makes it easy for you to use the map function.

(2) By visiting our website, Google will be notified about what page you opened on our website. In addition, the data stated in Section 1.1 will be transmitted. This will be done irrespective of whether you are logged in to a user account provided by Google or not. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish assignments to be made to your account, you must log out before activating the button. Google will save your data as a user profile and use your data for market advertisement, market research and/or need-based website design purposes. Such assessments are specifically used (even for users not logged in) to offer need-based advertisements and to inform other users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of such user profiles which you may exercise by contacting Google.

(3) The legal basis for this data processing is according to Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1 Letter GDPR your consent, which you have given via the cookie banner. Processing is performed to analyze and optimize our website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie settings and changing your selection there.
