They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies serve different purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary since certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart functions or displaying videos). Other cookies may serve to analyze user behavior or display advertisements.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or the provision of specific functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing these cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

If consent for cookies and comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) has been obtained, processing will take place exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the use of cookies, only allow cookies in specific cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases, or activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

6. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of visit, operating systems used, and user origin. This data may be aggregated into a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.

Google Analytics uses technologies that allow the recognition of the user for analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

7. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

8. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy

Our website embeds videos from YouTube. The provider of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. This mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they play the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you are watching a video.

Once you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your browsing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube may also store cookies on your end device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) after starting a video. This way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud attempts.

If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about data protection at YouTube, please refer to their privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

9. Online Marketing and Partner Programs

Affiliate Programs on this Website

We participate in affiliate partner programs. In affiliate partner programs, advertisements from a company (advertiser) are placed on websites of other companies in the affiliate partner network (publishers). If you click on one of these affiliate advertisements, you will be redirected to the advertised offer. If you then complete a specific transaction (conversion), the publisher receives compensation. To calculate this compensation, the affiliate network operator must be able to determine which advertisement you clicked on and whether a predefined transaction occurred. Cookies or similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) are used for this purpose.

The storage and analysis of the data are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in correctly calculating affiliate compensation. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, provided the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined in the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

12. Own Services

Handling Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, postal mail, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will take place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated confidentially.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) as far as it is necessary to decide on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to individuals involved in processing your application.

Retention Period of Data

If we cannot offer you a job, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted to us based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required beyond the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or anticipated legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for the extended retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also occur if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we do not offer you a job, there may be an option to include you in our applicant pool. If you are included, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The submission of consent is voluntary and unrelated to the ongoing application process. You may revoke your consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted unless there are legal reasons for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.

The use of Google Drive is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in providing a reliable upload area on the website. If consent has been requested, processing is based solely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
