Your request

We offer you various contact options, e.g. our address, our email address, our telephone number, chat systems, the option to make an appointment online, presence on social media and our contact form.

If you contact us, we will use the information you provide, such as your email address, your name and the content of your inquiry, to process your request.

We may also use messengers as part of our communication. You are entitled to use our other means of communication at any time. If the messenger uses end-to-end encryption, the messenger provider cannot access the message content. However, the messenger service provider may have access to information about whether communication has taken place and which device was used. However, this data is processed by the messenger provider; please read their privacy policy for more information.

We delete the data collected in this way once storage is no longer required or restrict processing if statutory retention periods apply.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Applications

If we are looking for employees, we will publish job advertisements.

In order to process your application, we need certain information from you.

In addition to your name and contact details, we also need and process your other application data, e.g. your application letter, CV, certificates or interview notes.

We delete the data collected during the application process when it is no longer needed for the purpose of the application. This will be the case no later than six months after the end of the application process if employment is not granted. This does not apply if legal provisions prevent deletion, the data is required for evidentiary purposes, or you have expressly consented to a longer storage period.

If we ask for your consent, e.g., to store your data for a longer period, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, Section 26 (2) BDSG. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, Section 26 BDSG.

Business relationship

We require personal data for the conclusion and execution of a contract for the services offered by us or by you.

As part of the initiation or execution of the contract, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of the contractual relationship and the fulfillment of the associated contractual obligations. We process your data to fulfill the contract with you as well as to comply with existing legal requirements, e.g. of a commercial or tax nature. This may include passing on data to subcontractors, payment service providers or authorities.

Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obligated to store contract data for ten years. However, after two years we restrict the processing, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Existing customer advertising

If you become a customer with us, we may use your email address received in this context to send you advertisements for similar goods or services.

You can object to this advertising at any time, especially by informing us via the contact options provided in the imprint. Even if we do not send you any advertising for a period of two years, we will block your email address for sending advertising. The storage of your email address itself is subject to the commercial and tax law requirements in connection with your purchase from us.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 (3) UWG, whereby our legitimate interests arise from the aforementioned purposes.

Third-party services

We use third-party services to optimize our offerings.

When you access an offer that contains such a service, a direct connection to the third-party provider's servers may be established. The third-party provider therefore receives the information that you or your IP address have accessed the corresponding page of our offer.

If you are logged in with the service provider, the third-party provider can associate your visit to our offer with your account. When you interact with the services, for example by clicking a button, this is transmitted directly from your device to the third-party provider. If you do not want a third-party provider with whom you maintain an account to collect data about you through our offers, you must log out of the respective account before visiting our offers.

In some cases, identification and recognition procedures are used that are stored on your device and/or generated from automatically transmitted information from your device. These can be cookies or fingerprint procedures, for example. Where necessary, we provide you with a tool with which you can control the use of such procedures.

For information on the purpose and scope of the collection and use of your data, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy by the third-party provider, please also refer to the privacy policy of the respective third-party provider.

Embedded services:

We embed third-party services to make our offerings more informative for you through additional services.

Specifically, we embed services from the following providers on our website:

Bot and spam protection:

To protect our contact and application forms against automated submissions and spam, we use a bot-detection service. When you submit one of these forms, the service analyzes signals from your browser to distinguish human visitors from automated software; this may involve transmitting your IP address to the provider.

Specifically, we use the following service on our website:

If we ask for your consent for the use of the services, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby our legitimate interests arise from the aforementioned purposes.

Service providers

To the extent that we use service providers who work for us as part of so-called data processing as per Art. 28 GDPR, we have concluded a corresponding contract with them.

To the extent that we use service providers in so-called third countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, we only allow your data to be processed in third countries with a level of data protection verified by the EU Commission, on the basis of special guarantees, such as contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission.

We will be happy to provide you with more detailed information upon request.

Social media presence

We maintain a presence on social media to communicate with our customers, interested parties and users and to inform them about our services. Usually, cookies are stored on users' computers. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the hard drive associated with the browser used and through which certain information flows to the entity that sets the cookie (here through the social network).

The cookies enable the creation of statistics about the use of a presence in social networks. The processing can take place regardless of whether you have a profile with the social network and are logged in during your visit. Furthermore, users' data is also regularly used for advertising purposes by creating usage profiles (especially of registered users) based on usage behavior and using them to display suitable advertisements. The social network can also associate your visit to our profile with your own profile. With regard to our posts or visits to our profile, we can view statistics (especially demographic and geographic) about usage in anonymized form. Where necessary, the social network offers you a tool or setting options with which you can control the use of such procedures.

The legal basis for the operation of our presence in social media is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the comprehensive and optimized information of users. We would like to point out that only the respective social network has full access to all the data and therefore an effective right to information should be requested directly from the social network.

You have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Right to information
  • Right to correction or deletion
  • Right to restriction of processing
  • Right to object to processing
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority

If you have given us your consent to process your data, you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

You can object to direct advertising at any time. If your particular situation requires it, you can also object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR at any time.
