On our website we use browser plugins and links from Facebook and Twitter. These social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are operated by third parties only. Their registered offices are outside the EU or the European Economic Area. The level of data protection of these providers may therefore be below that required by the current regulations in Germany and Europe.

You can prevent this assignment from taking place if you have logged off Facebook or Twitter before visiting our website. You can prevent plugins being uploaded by installing an appropriate blocker.

To obtain statistical information about the use of our website and to analyse the information with a view to optimising your experience with our website, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. In this case Google Adwords places a cookie (see clause 4) on your computer if you have been directed to our website by a Google advert.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification purposes. If this cookie has not yet expired when the user visits certain pages of the advertiser's website, Google and the advertiser will be able to tell that the user clicked the advert and proceeded to that page.
Each Adwords customer is given a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have decided to use conversion tracking. The Adwords customers find out the total number of users who have clicked on the advert and were forwarded to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not obtain any information which allows the user to be personally identified.
If you do not wish to have any part in the tracking procedure, you can also refuse to allow the saving of the required cookie – simply by adjusting your browser settings to deactivate the automatic saving of cookies on a general basis. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by adjusting your browser settings so that cookies from the domain are blocked.

If we have collected personal data, e.g. as part of application procedures carried out by electronic means via E-mail, we assure you that such data will be blocked or erased in accordance with statutory regulations as soon as the reason for storing it ceases to apply. In this regard we comply with applicable European directives and national regulations.
In case of a contract of employment with an applicant, we shall store the transmitted data in compliance with statutory regulations. If a contract of employment is not concluded, the application documents will be deleted automatically six months after the announcement of the decision – unless there are legitimate interests against deletion, e.g. burden of proof in proceedings pursuant to the German General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz [AGG]).
