We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European Data Protection Basic Regulation (EU-GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), insofar as this is necessary for the proposals or mediations.
Furthermore, we may process your personal data if this is necessary to fulfil legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or to defend against legal claims made against us. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The legitimate interest is, for example, an obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, AGG). If you give us express consent to process personal data for specific purposes, the lawfulness of this processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. A given consent can be revoked at any time, with effect for the future (see item 9 of this general data protection information).
We process only such data that is related to your participation in our software. This can be general data about your person (name, address, contact data, etc.), information about your professional qualifications and schooling, information about professional further education and, if applicable, other data that you send us in connection with your participation.
We process personal data which we receive from you by post or digitally or which you transmit to us by other means within the scope of establishing contact or your mediation.
Within our company, we pass on your personal data exclusively to those areas and persons who need this data to fulfil contractual and legal obligations or to implement our legitimate interests.
Your personal data will be processed on our behalf on the basis of commissioned processing contracts in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. In these cases we ensure that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. Otherwise, data will only be passed on to recipients outside the company if this is permitted or required by law, if the transfer is necessary to fulfil legal obligations or if we have your consent.
7. TRANSMISSION TO A THIRD COUNTRY
See also §2 Nr. 21, 28.
8. DURATION OF DATA STORAGE / POOL PARTICIPATION
We store your personal data as long as this is necessary. Your personal data will be deleted for a maximum of six months after termination of the contract, unless longer storage is legally required or permitted. Beyond this, we only store your personal data to the extent required by law or in a specific case to assert, exercise or defend legal claims for the duration of a legal dispute.
In case you have agreed to a longer storage of your personal data, we will store them according to your declaration of consent.
They also have the opportunity to give us their consent to be included in our talent pool. This allows us to continue to consider you in our selection process for suitable vacancies in the future. If we have your consent, we will store your data in our talent pool in accordance with your consent or, if applicable, future consent.
Every data subject has the right of access under Art. 15 GDPR, the right of rectification under Art. 16 GDPR, the right of deletion under Art. 17 GDPR, the right to restrict processing under Art. 18 GDPR, the right of notification under Art. 19 GDPR and the right to data transferability under Art. 20 GDPR. In addition, you have the right of appeal to a data protection supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
If the processing of data is based on your consent, you are entitled to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data at any time in accordance with Art. 7 GDPR. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected. Please also note that we may have to store certain data for a certain period of time in order to comply with legal requirements (see item 8 of this data protection information).
Insofar as the processing of your personal data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to safeguard legitimate interests, you have the right, pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, to object to the processing of such data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process this personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection. These must outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing must serve to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
You are welcome to contact us to protect your rights.
10.1 You are not obliged to provide information about your personal data. Please note, however, that this is necessary for the decision on whether to enter into an employment contract. If you do not provide us with personal information, we will not be able to make a decision to employ or otherwise assign you. We encourage you to provide only the personal information necessary to fulfill the contract.
10.2 In the event of any conflict between the English and German or other language text on this website and in the data protection information, the German text shall prevail.

In some cases, the cookies serve security purposes or are necessary for the operation of our online offer (e.g., for the presentation of the website) or to store the user decision when the cookie banner is confirmed. In addition, we or our technology partners use cookies for reach measurement and marketing purposes, about which users will be informed in the course of the data protection declaration.

20.1 On the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited site), IP address and the requesting provider.

22.1 Cookies are pieces of information that are transferred from our web server or third party web servers to users’ web browsers and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies may be small files or other types of information storage.
22.2 We use “session cookies”, which are only stored for the duration of the current visit to our online presence (e.g. to enable the storage of your login status or the shopping basket function and thus the use of our online offer at all). A randomly generated unique identification number, a so-called session ID, is stored in a session cookie. In addition, a cookie contains information about its origin and the storage period. These cookies cannot store any other data. Session cookies are deleted when you have finished using our website and, for example, log out or close the browser.
22.3 Users are informed about the use of cookies in the context of pseudonymous range measurement within the scope of this data protection declaration.
22.4 If the users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional limitations of this online offer.
22.5 You can object to the use of cookies, which serve to measure reach and advertising purposes, via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/
23.1 On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website by the user is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
23.2 Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
23.3 Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offer and the use of the Internet. The processed data can be used to create pseudonymous user profiles of the users.
23.4 We use Google Analytics in order to display the advertisements placed within the advertising services of Google and its partners only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who show certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined by the websites visited), which we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics Audiences”). With the help of remarketing audiences, we also want to ensure that our advertisements correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not appear annoying.
23.5 We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation. This means that the IP address of users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
23.6 The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
23.7 Further information on Google’s use of data, setting and objection options can be found on Google’s websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (“Google’s use of data when you use our partners’ websites or apps”), https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads (“Use of data for advertising purposes”), https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated (“Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising”).
24. Google marketing services
24.1 On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) the marketing and remarketing services (in short “Google Marketing Services”) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (“Google”).
24.2 Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
24.3 Google’s marketing services allow us to display ads for and on our website in a more targeted manner so that we only show users ads that potentially match their interests. For example, if a user is shown ads for products that he or she has been interested in on other websites, this is called “remarketing”. For these purposes, when you visit our website and other websites where Google marketing services are active, Google will execute code directly from Google and (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as “web beacons”) will be embedded in the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites the user has visited, what content he is interested in and which offers he has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we inform within the framework of Google Analytics that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is it transferred in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address will not be merged with data of the user within other offers of Google. Google may also combine the above-mentioned information with information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, advertisements tailored to the user’s interests may be displayed.
24.4 User data is processed pseudonymously within the framework of Google marketing services. I.e. Google does not store and process e.g. the name or e-mail address of the user, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that from Google’s point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who that cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly permitted Google to process the data without this pseudonymisation. The information collected by Google marketing services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the USA.
24.5 The Google marketing services used by us include the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies can therefore not be tracked on the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted-in to conversion tracking. AdWords customers are told the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
24.6 We may include third-party ads based on Google’s “DoubleClick” marketing service. DoubleClick uses cookies to enable Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on users’ visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
24.7 We may display third party ads based on Google’s AdSense marketing service. AdSense uses cookies to enable Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on user visits to this website and other websites on the internet.
24.8 We may also use the “Google Optimizer” service. Google Optimizer allows us in the context of so-called “A/B-Testings” to understand how different.
25. Facebook, custom audiences and facebook marketing services
25.1 Within our online offer, the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are located in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”), is used due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer and for these purposes.
25.2 Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
25.3 With the help of the Facebook pixel, on the one hand, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called “Facebook Ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel in order to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not appear annoying. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users are redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).
25.4 Furthermore, when using the Facebook Pixel, we use the additional function “extended matching” (here, data such as telephone numbers, email addresses or Facebook IDs of users) to create target groups (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”) to Facebook (encrypted). Further information on “extended matching”: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668).
25.5 We also use the “Custom Audiences from File” procedure of the social network Facebook, Inc. In this case, the email addresses of newsletter recipients are uploaded to Facebook. The upload process is encrypted. The upload is used solely to determine recipients of our Facebook ads. We want to ensure that the ads are only displayed to users who have an interest in our information and services.
25.6 The processing of data by Facebook is carried out within the framework of Facebook’s Data Use Policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook Ads is provided in the Facebook Data Use Policy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Specific information and details about the Facebook pixel and its functionality can be found in the help section of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
25.7 You may object to the collection by the Facebook Pixel and use of your information to display Facebook Ads. To control the types of ads that are displayed to you within Facebook, you can go to the Facebook-facilitated page and follow the instructions for usage-based advertising settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, meaning that they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
25.8 To prevent the collection of your data using the Facebook pixel on our website, please click the button at the top of the page: Back to top
Note: When you click the link, an “opt-out” cookie is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to click the link again. Furthermore, the opt-out only applies within the browser you are using and only within our web domain where the link was clicked.
25.9 You may also opt-out of the use of cookies for audience measurement and advertising purposes by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).
26.1 On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) Social Plugins (“Plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The Plugins can display interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on blue tile, the terms “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
26.2. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
26.3 If a user calls up a function of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his device establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user’s device and integrated into the online offer by the user. User profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform the users according to our state of knowledge.
26.4 By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his or her Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, by pressing the Like button or submitting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your device to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to find out his or her IP address and store it. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

We use Hotjar in our Internet presence. This is a web analytics service provided by Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe, hereinafter only referred to as “Hotjar”.
Hotjar enables us to log and evaluate your usage behaviour on our website, such as your mouse movements or mouse clicks. However, your visit to our website is made anonymous. In addition, information about your operating system, your Internet browser, incoming or outgoing links, the geographical origin as well as the type and activation of the terminal device you are using is evaluated and processed for statistical purposes by Hotjar. Hotjar can also obtain direct feedback from you. In addition, Hotjar offers further data protection information at https://www.hotjar.com/privacy.
28.1 With the following information, we inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedure and your rights of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the described procedures.
28.2 Content of the newsletter: We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications containing advertising information (hereinafter “newsletter”) only with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. Insofar as the contents of the newsletter are specifically described in the context of a registration for the newsletter, they are decisive for the consent of the users. Furthermore, our newsletters contain information about our products, offers, promotions and our company.
28.3 Double-Opt-In and logging: The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called Double-Opt-In procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with foreign e-mail addresses. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.
28.5 Furthermore, according to its own information, the delivery service provider can use this data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without allocation to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimization of the delivery and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or pass them on to third parties.
28.6 Registration data: In order to subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to enter your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to enter a name for personal contact in the newsletter.
28.7 Measurement of success – The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the mailing service provider when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information on the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined by means of the IP address) or the access times. Statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our nor the dispatch service provider’s intention to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.
28.8 The dispatch of the newsletter and the measurement of success are based on the consent of the recipients according to 6 paragraph 1 letter a, art. 7 GDPR in connection with § 7 paragraph 2 no. 3 UWG or on the basis of the legal permission according to § 7 paragraph 3 UWG.
28.9 The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves as proof of consent to receive the newsletter.
28.10. Cancellation/revocation – You can cancel receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. If users have only registered for the newsletter and cancelled this registration, their personal data will be deleted.
29.1 Within our online offer, we set the following priorities on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use content or service offers from third parties in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

Pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.
