We also process personal data which we have legitimately obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g., professional networks such as LinkedIn or Xing). You have the option of logging in to the registration process using an existing user account on the social networks LinkedIn, Google, and Facebook. This will check whether you have a valid user account with the selected network, with whose access data you can log into our portal. The result of this check and, if applicable, your name, email address and profile picture are transferred to our application management system. Beyond this, no further data transmission takes place between us and the selected social network. Corresponding data is processed in a central system operated and managed by Syntax Systems Ltd. 8250 Boul Décarie Bureau 400 Montreal, Canada for the companies of the Syntax Group. As part of the operation of this central application management system, we and Syntax Systems Ltd act as jointly responsible parties, while Syntax Systems Ltd are responsible for the technical and organizational operation and management of the systems, and we are responsible for the content management of the application process. We have signed a contract with Syntax Systems Ltd to regulate data protection aspects of this cooperation. We will be happy to provide the other essential contents of the regulations upon request.

The transfer of data within our group of companies is secured through the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission in accordance with Article 46 Paragraph 2 lit. 1 GDPR, available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32010D0087. If data is transmitted to or processed in the USA by our service provider ADP, it is secured through Binding Corporate Rules (“BCR”) in accordance with Article 46 Paragraph 2 Letter b and Article 47 GDPR or the conclusion of EU-Standard contractual clauses in accordance with Article 46 Paragraph 2 Letter c GDPR. The processing of personal data to the extent described above serves to establish the employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Article 88 Paragraph 1 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 Paragraph 1 BDSG. Your data will only be processed to fill the specific position for which you are applying. In addition, the processing of health data for the assessment of your ability to work, based on Article 88 Paragraph 1 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 Paragraph 1 BDSG, may be required.

If you send us a speculative application (e.g., by post or email), you will receive an email from us in which we ask you to upload your application directly to the applicant portal on our website. If this is not possible for you, we will create your application for you – at your express request – in our applicant portal. For the processing of the data in the applicant portal, we refer to the explanations under (1) above.

In addition, the processing of health data for the assessment of your ability to work according to Article 9 Paragraph 2 Letter h GDPR in conjunction with Section 22 Paragraph 1 b BDSG may be required. Furthermore, the above mentioned (1) applies. (3) Duration of storage and inclusion in applicant pool If you are hired, your application documents will be transferred to your personnel file. After termination of the employment relationship, personal data will continue to be stored which we are legally obliged to store or for which there is a legitimate interest in storing it. This regularly results from legal accountability and retention obligations, which are regulated, among other things, in the Commercial Code and the Tax Code and which can lead to storage for up to ten years. Legitimate interests can include defense against legal claims (cf. Article 17 Paragraph 3 Letter e GDPR, usually for a period of three years, but possibly longer). In the event of rejection, your application documents will be deleted no later than six months after the application process has been completed.

We would like to point out that in this case not all functions of our website may be usable. Overview of cookies used: 2.6 Technologies We would particularly like to draw your attention to the following technologies that we use on our website. (1) Google Analytics Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Ireland. Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your device and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. Among other things, data is recorded about the website from which you came to our website, which sub-pages you visited, how often and for how long. On the one hand, Google uses this information to evaluate the use of our website, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services related to the use of our website. On the other hand, Google also uses the data for its own purposes, in particular to provide its web analysis and tracking service or to create a profile. This may be linked to other data, e.g., via existing Google accounts. Your data is kept for 14 months. In principle, when you use Google Analytics, Google processes your IP address. We have activated the IP anonymization function of Google Analytics on our website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened before it is transmitted to Google within the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. Google may transmit your personal data to Google group companies, such as Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. We use Google Analytics to analyze and optimize the use of our website by using the statistics obtained to design our website according to your preferences. The processing is based on your voluntarily given consent. The legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR, 49 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by changing the cookie settings in the Cookie Consent Manager. You can prevent the setting of cookies at any time by means of a corresponding setting in your browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via your browser or other software programs. It is possible to prevent the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. Inorder to do this, the browser add-on must be downloaded and installed from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information on website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Finally, you can also prevent the transmission of data to Google Analytics by setting an opt-out cookie in your browser. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google in the context of Google Analytics can be found in Google’s data protection declaration at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy. (2) Google Ads We use Google’s online advertising program, Google Ads, and conversion tracking as part of Google Ads. If you have reached our website via a Google ad on an external website, Google places a cookie on your device. Google provides us with statistical evaluations using the information obtained through the cookies. We find out the total number of users who clicked on our advertisement(s) and were redirected to our website. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data. In particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information. We do not collect or process any personal data ourselves. Through the use of Google Ads and conversion tracking, we are pursuing our interest in showing you advertising that might be of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and being able to calculate advertising costs accordingly. With the use of conversion tracking, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data that is collected by Google through the use of conversion tracking. We will inform you as and when we receive updated information. Through integration, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. 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, Google receives your IP address as well as statistical information (browser type and version number, address of the previously visited website (referrer), date and time of the request) and the address of the pages, which you can access from us. Google may transmit your personal data to Google group companies, such as Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Processing is based on your voluntarily given consent. The legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR, 49 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by changing the cookie settings in the Cookie Consent Manager. You can also prevent cookies from being set at any time in various ways: a) by setting your browser accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies, you will not receive any advertisements from third-party providers; b) deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked,, https://www.google.de/settings/ads; c) by deactivating the interest-based advertisements of the providers who are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices; d) by permanent deactivation in your browser under the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of data on visits to our website, including the URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, time stamps and page views. LinkedIn does not share any personal data with us, but only offers summarized reports on the website target group and the display performance. LinkedIn also offers retargeting for website visitors enabling us to use this data to display targeted advertising outside of our website without the LinkedIn member being identified. Members of LinkedIn can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their LinkedIn account settings. LinkedIn may also transmit personal data to other LinkedIn companies, such as the LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server when you visit our website. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data that is collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you based on the current level of our knowledge. By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you are visiting our website, have accessed our website or have clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. This survey by Facebook enables us, for example, to show you as a (former) visitor to our website on other websites (so-called retargeting). Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and save your IP address and other identification features. Facebook may also transmit data to other Facebook companies, such as Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.
