In addition, we will inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimization purposes and to improve the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data on their own responsibility as a result.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

- to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);

III. information
for data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any legal storage requirements and no other information on individual processing methods is provided below.
Cookie Manager
To obtain consent to the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website, the provider uses a cookie manager.
When the website is accessed, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the user's device so that the request for consent does not have to be made during a further visit.
The cookie is required to obtain legally compliant consent from the user.
The user can prevent or stop the installation of cookies by adjusting their browser settings.
Cookiesa) Session cookies/session cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored and stored on your device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process specific information about you on an individual basis, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables us, for example, to display our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are processed to initiate or process a contract.
If the processing is not for contract initiation or contract processing, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
When you close your Internet browser, these session cookies are deleted.
b) Third party cookies
Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work together for the purpose of advertising, analysis or the functionalities of our website.
For details on this, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies, please see the information below.
c) Disposal option
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
Contact requests/contact option
If you contact us via contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. It is necessary to provide the data to process and answer your request — without providing it, we cannot answer your request or can only answer it to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted provided that your request has been finally answered and the deletion does not conflict with any legal storage obligations, such as in the event of any subsequent contract processing.
Online job applications/publication of job advertisements
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via our website. With these digital applications, your application and application data is collected and processed electronically by us to process the application process.
The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 (1) (1) BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 (1) GDPR.
If an employment contract is concluded after the application process, we will store the data you provided during the application process in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organizational and administrative process — in compliance with further legal obligations, of course.
The legal basis for this processing is also Section 26 (1) (1) BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 (1) GDPR.
If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data submitted to us two months after notification of the rejection. However, the data will not be deleted if, due to legal provisions, for example due to evidentiary obligations under the AGG, require longer storage of up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings.
In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and § 24 para. 1 no. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in legal defense and enforcement.
If you expressly consent to the storage of your data for a longer period of time, for example for your inclusion in an applicant or interested party database, the data will be further processed on the basis of your consent. The legal basis is then Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. However, you can of course withdraw your consent at any time in accordance with Article 7 (3) GDPR by notifying us with effect for the future.
server data
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider through your Internet browser.

The data collected in this way is temporarily stored, but not together with other data from you.
This storage is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is excluded from deletion in whole or in part until an incident has been finally clarified.
