Data collection when visiting our website
When you use our website purely for informational purposes, i.e. when you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser sends to us (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:
- The website you visited
- Date and time of access
- Amount of data sent, in bytes
- Source/referrer from which you reached the page
- Browser used
- Operating system used
- IP address used, in anonymised form
- This processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. We do, however, reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively should there be concrete indications of unlawful use.
Note on the transfer of data to the USA
Our website incorporates, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store your data held on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over this processing activity.
Cookies
As part of our online offering, we use cookies and comparable technologies that serve to communicate with your device and exchange stored information (collectively referred to below as “cookies”). These cookies are used primarily to make the functions of the online offering usable. General examples where the use of cookies is technically necessary in this sense include the storage of login data. Accordingly, we may use technically necessary cookies to enable the aforementioned data collection and its processing and to ensure the proper and secure operation of the online offering. This data processing then takes place on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR, as it is necessary to implement the functions you have selected and/or to safeguard our legitimate interest in the functionality of the online offering.
Should we also use cookies to analyse the use of the online offering and align it with your interests in a targeted manner, and where applicable, to provide you with interest-based content and advertisements, this is done exclusively on the basis of your voluntary consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. You then have the option of making your relevant settings via the consent management tool (“cookie consent manager”) within the online offering. You may revoke any consent given in this way at any time with effect for the future. Further information on the cookies and their individual functions, as well as on the options for setting and revoking them, is available directly in the relevant sections of the consent management tool.
If you do not wish to use cookies at all, you can also prevent their storage by adjusting the settings on your device accordingly. You can delete stored cookies in your device’s system settings at any time. Please note that blocking certain types of cookies may impair your use of our online offering.
Every browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find these for the respective browsers at the following links:
Cookie settings
You can adjust your cookie settings at any time using the following link and revoke any consent already given by removing the relevant checkbox tick, provided it does not concern essential cookies.
Please note that after revoking consent, you must manually delete the cookies created up to that point in your browser. The procedure is described in the instructions linked above. From the time of revocation, no new cookies will be set for the deselected area.
Contacting us
When you contact us (e.g. by contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the relevant contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry, or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your enquiry is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your enquiry has been finally dealt with; this is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified, provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.
Use of your data for job applications
In the course of the application process, we collect and process personal data, including by electronic means. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6, lit. b or f GDPR. The purpose is to carry out the application process. If a contract is concluded with an applicant, the personal data already processed will be stored for the purpose of administering the employment relationship. Statutory provisions are observed in doing so. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If, on the other hand, no contract is concluded with the applicant, the controller will delete the personal data six months after notifying the applicant of the rejection. This applies only subject to any other legitimate interests that would preclude deletion. Such a legitimate interest exists, for example, where the personal data is required to meet a burden of proof in proceedings under the general principle of equal treatment. The applicant has the option at any time to end the application process and thus the processing of their personal data. In this case, all personal data stored during the application process will be deleted, unless the controller has a previously stated interest in its continued storage.
Rights of the data subject
Applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive rights as a data subject (rights of access and intervention) against the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, about which we inform you below:
Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR: In particular, you have the right to obtain information about the personal data we process concerning you, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the envisaged storage period or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for you, and your right to be informed about the safeguards that exist pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries;
Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR: You have the right to obtain the immediate rectification of inaccurate data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete data stored with us;
Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR: You have the right to demand the erasure of your personal data where the requirements of Art. 17 (1) GDPR are met. This right does not apply, in particular, where the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data for as long as the accuracy of your data, which you dispute, is being verified; if you refuse the erasure of your data due to unlawful processing and instead demand the restriction of its processing; if you need your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims after we no longer need this data once its purpose has been achieved; or if you have objected on grounds relating to your particular situation, for as long as it has not yet been established whether our legitimate grounds override yours;
Right to be informed pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR: If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of these recipients. Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR: You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to request that it be transmitted to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible;
Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR: You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to request that it be transmitted to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible;
Right to withdraw consent given pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR: You have the right to withdraw any consent you have given to the processing of data at any time, with effect for the future. In the event of withdrawal, we will delete the data concerned without delay, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis permitting processing without consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent prior to its withdrawal;
Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR: If you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right – without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy – to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. A list of the German data protection supervisory authorities and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/.
Right to object
If, as part of a balancing of interests, we process your personal data on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest, you have the right, at any time and for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to this processing with effect for the future.
If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing the data concerned. Further processing remains reserved, however, where we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. You can exercise your right to object as described above.
If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing the data concerned for direct marketing purposes.
Duration of storage of personal data
The duration for which personal data is stored is determined by the applicable statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law). Once the period has expired, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in its continued storage.
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 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 origin. This data is assigned to the user’s respective device. It is not assigned to a user ID.
Furthermore, with Google Analytics we can, among other things, record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the data collected and employs machine learning technologies in its data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here:

Use of Google Consent Mode
Our website uses Google Consent Mode, a Google function that helps ensure compliance with data protection provisions and cookie consent requirements. Google Consent Mode allows us to take our users’ consent settings into account, in particular in connection with the use of Google products such as Google Analytics and Google Ads. Google Consent Mode works by collecting information on whether you have consented to the use of cookies and other tracking technologies on our website. Based on this information, Google Analytics will either collect and send data from your current session or not. If you have not consented to the use of cookies, no information about your online activities will be passed on to Google Analytics or Google Ads.
Browser plug-in
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:

Use of Google Maps
Subject to your voluntary consent, this page uses the Google Maps mapping service via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
In order to use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In addition, the browser you use connects to Google’s servers to load Google web fonts for displaying the typefaces within Google Maps. This allows Google to learn that our website was accessed via your IP address. The provider of this page has no influence over this data transfer.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way and making it easy to find the locations we indicate on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
More information on how Google handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy notice:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Use of Google web fonts
We use Google Fonts from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website. As the fonts are provided by our own servers, no data is transferred to Google.
Note on MATOMO (formerly PIWIK)
This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo, provided you have consented to its use. Matomo uses technologies that enable cross-page recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour by means of device fingerprinting. The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our own server; data is not transmitted to servers outside our control. Your IP address is anonymised before storage by being shortened prior to analysis in such a way that it can no longer be clearly attributed to you.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to record and analyse data on how visitors use our website. This allows us to find out, among other things, when particular page views took place and which region they came from, so that we can continuously improve the usability of the website. We also record various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors carry out certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).
If you have consented to the use of Matomo, the following data is collected by Matomo when this website is used:
- The website accessed,
- 2 bytes of the IP address of the system you are using,
- The website that referred you to this website (referrer),
- Duration of use of the website,
- Frequency of visits to this website
As soon as the data is no longer required for our recording purposes, we will delete it.
This analysis tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
You can adjust the cookie settings for Matomo at any time using the following link and revoke any consent already given by removing the relevant checkbox tick, provided it does not concern essential cookies.
