This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables website operators to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used and the user’s location. This data is associated with the user’s respective device. It is not linked to a user ID.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

We use online conferencing tools, amongst other means, to communicate with our customers. The specific tools we use are listed below. When you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and the provider of the relevant conferencing tool.
The conference tools collect all data that you provide or use to access the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end times of your participation in the conference, the number of participants and other “contextual information” relating to the communication process (metadata).
Furthermore, the tool provider processes all technical data required to facilitate online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection.
Where content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise made available within the tool, this is also stored on the tool provider’s servers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared whilst using the service.
Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations carried out by the tools we use. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective providers. For further information on data processing by the conference tools, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective tools, which we have listed below.
The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer specific services to our customers (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR). Furthermore, the use of these tools serves to generally simplify and speed up communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). Where consent has been sought, the use of the relevant tools is based on this consent; consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
Data collected directly by us via the video and conferencing tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
We have no influence over the retention period of your data stored by the operators of the conferencing tools for their own purposes. For further details, please contact the operators of the conferencing tools directly.
We use the following conference tools:
We use Microsoft Teams. The provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland. For details on data processing, please refer to the Microsoft Teams privacy statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.
The company is certified under the ‘EU-US Data Privacy Framework’ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when data is processed in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information on this is available from the provider via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/6474.
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g. by email, post or via our online application form). Below, we provide information on 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 be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you submit an application to us, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication details, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to enter into an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general pre-contractual processing) and – provided you have given your consent – Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Your personal data will be disclosed within our company exclusively to those persons involved in processing your application.
If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the purpose of managing the employment relationship.
As part of the application process, we may also carry out an online search regarding your person. This primarily includes Google searches, LinkedIn and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest in obtaining an overall impression of publicly available information about you in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Data retention period
If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided for up to six months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The data is retained primarily for evidential purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the six-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will not take place until the purpose for continued retention no longer applies.
Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have given your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent its erasure.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not offer you a position, there may be the option of adding you to our applicant pool. If you are added, all documents and details from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you should suitable vacancies arise.
Inclusion in the candidate pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). Giving your consent is voluntary and has no bearing on the current recruitment process. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.
Data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
