We are delighted that you are visiting our site and are interested in our products and services. The protection of personal data is an important concern for us. We should now like to advise you what information we will collect during your visit to our website and how it will be used to ensure that you feel safe when on our site.
Personal data is individual information about the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as your correct name, your address, your telephone number, your position and your company. Information which cannot be directly linked to your real identity - such as the number of users of a page - is not personal data.
If you merely use the website for information purposes, i.e. without registering or otherwise transmitting information to ourselves, we will collect only the personal data transmitted to our server by your browser (known as server log files). This information includes for example the IP address, the type and version of the web browser used, the operating system used, the web page from which you accessed the site and the time of the request. Server log files are technically necessary to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (the legal basis is thus the legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 point f GDPR). This does not therefore involve any special function of our website. We carry out statistical evaluation of the data collected in this manner.
You will possibly be asked to provide personal information. It is not obligatory to answer such questions. We use personal data made available by yourself solely for the purpose of offering you individual service, i.e. in general to respond to your enquiry. Moreover, personal data made available by yourself will not be stored or passed on for any further purpose. We would like to assure you that your information will be treated as confidential in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. Where we employ external service providers for individual offers on this site, for example in the case of our applicant portal, they are selected with the greatest possible care subject to aspects of data protection and according to the statutory provisions. The nature and scope of the data processing operations to be performed are regulated on a contractual basis and the service providers engaged for this purpose are bound by a special obligation to comply with the same data protection level as is customary at our company.
In conjunction with the processing of your data you have the right to access according to Art. 15 GDPR, the right to correction according to Art. 16 GDPR, the right to erasure according to 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR, the right to object under Art. 21 GDPR and the right to data portability under Art. 20 GDPR. In the case of the right to access and to erasure, they are subject to the restrictions pursuant to Sections 34 and 35 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). You moreover have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG).
If you get in touch with us either via e-mail or using a contact form, we will store the data you submit to us (your e-mail address, and possibly your name and telephone number) in order to respond to your questions. The legal basis for processing of this data, which is transferred during the sending of an enquiry, is Art. 6 para.1 point f) GDPR (legitimate interests of ourselves as data controller). Where the object of the enquiry is the conclusion of a contract or the execution of an existing contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para.1 point b) GDPR (performance of a contract). Where we ask you to also enter in our contact form information which is not necessary to establish contact, we have indicated this as being optional. We will use this information to categorise your enquiry and to improve the handling of your issue. The provision of optional information takes place on a voluntary basis. Your personal data will be erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its collection. You also have the option at any time to object to data processing. All personal data which has been stored in the course of establishing contact will in this case be erased, except where necessary to comply with statutory periods of data retention. In other respects processing is restricted.

To this end, we send you a confirmation e-mail and you confirm opt-in by clicking on the link contained in the mail. Provision of the above data is mandatory; you can voluntarily disclose all further information through usage of our portal.

Where an application is sent by post or e-mail, the data may be captured and input in the tool by the HR department.
