Data protection
The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal data seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy statement.
When you use this website, a variety of personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy statement explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that there can be security gaps when transferring data via the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email). Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Unless otherwise specified within this privacy statement, we shall retain your personal data until the purpose of data processing has expired. If you assert a legitimate claim to erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data shall be deleted to the extent that we have no other legitimate reason to store your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion shall occur after expiry of these reasons.

Information on data transfer in the USA
Amongst other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated in our website. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. Please note that the USA is not a secure third party country in the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obligated to publish personal data to the security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that the US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, analyze and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing processes are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent already issued. The legitimacy of the data processing carried out until the time when consent is revoked remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as against direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU WHICH IS BASED ON POINT (E) OR (F) OF ARTICLE 6 (1) GDPR, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PRIVACY DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING, WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF THE ASSERTION, EXCERISING OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 21( 1) GDPR).
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING, WHICH INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. WHERE YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA SHALL NO LONGER BE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 21( 2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority
In the case of infringements against GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint shall not prejudice any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to transmit data that we process on the basis of your consent or by automated means in performance of a contract, to yourself or to a third party in a commonly used and machine-readable format. In exercising this right to data portability directly to a different data controller, this shall be done only where technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or requests that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection can be identified when the browser address bar changes from “http://“ to “https://“ and a padlock icon appears in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, erasure and rectification
Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right, at any time and free of charge, to information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing as well as, if relevant, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. If you have any questions about this or other aspects of personal data, please feel free to contact us any time.
Right to restriction of processing
You also have the right to restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us in this regard at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of the personal data stored by us, we will usually require time to verify this. You have the right to demand restriction of processing of your personal data for the verification period.
- If your personal data was processed unlawfully, you can demand restriction of processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you shall have the right to demand restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have objected to processing in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR, it must be verified whether your interests outweigh ours. For as long as it has not yet been ascertained whose interests outweigh whose, you have the right to demand restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data shall – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

5. Analysis tools and advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool with which we are able to integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies in our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not save any cookies and does not perform any analyses independently. It serves the sole purpose of managing and presenting the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which can also be transferred to the Google parent company in the United States of America.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and simple integration and management of different tools on its website. Provided corresponding consent has been requested, processing is based solely on the principle of Article 6(1)a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
Google Analytics
This website uses the functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service. 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 people visiting the website. The website operator receives a variety of usage data, such as page views, duration of stay, operating system used and the user’s origin. If relevant, Google compiles this data in a profile, which is assigned to the respective user or their device.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analysing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information recorded by Google regarding the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there.
This analysis tool is used on the basis of Article 6(1)f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior, both to optimize its web offering and it advertising. Provided corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is based solely on the principle of Art. 6(1)a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer in the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means Google abbreviates your IP address within the Member States of the European Union or in other States party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transferring it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this data to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with other services associated with website use and Internet use. Google will not merge the IP address sent by your browser in the context of Google Analytics with other data.
Browser plugin
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

We have completed a data processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities in the use of Google Analytics.
Demographics with Google Analytics
This website uses the “Demographics” function of Google Analytics to be able to show website users relevant advertising within the Google advertising network. This means reports can be created that contain information on the age, gender and interests of the website user. This data stems from interest-based advertising provided by Google as well as from visitor data from third party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the display settings in your Google account or can generally forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as shown in point “Objecting to data collection”.
Storage period
Data stored by Google at user and event level, which is linked with cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID), is anonymized or deleted after 26 months. For details, see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de
Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland.
Google Ads enables us to present advertisements the Google search engine or on third party websites, if the user enters certain search terms in Google (keyword targeting). In addition, targeted advertising can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). We as the website operator can perform quantitative analysis of this data by analysing which search terms resulted in our advertisement being displayed and how many displays resulted in corresponding clicks.
Google Ads is used on the basis of Article 6(1)f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective possible marketing of its services and products.
Data transfer in the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
Google Remarketing
This website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Remarketing analyzes your user behavior on our website (e.g. click on specific products) to allocate you to specific advertising target groups and then display relevant advertisements to you when you visit other online offerings (remarketing or retargeting).
In addition, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked with the functions of Google across multiple devices. In this way, the interest-based, personalized advertising, which has been adapted to you based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. mobile phone), can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising under the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
Google Remarketing is used on the basis of Article 6(1)f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective possible marketing of its products. Provided corresponding consent has been requested, processing is based solely on the principle of Article 6(1)a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information and for the data protection provisions, see the Google data privacy notice at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
Target group formation with customer matching
For target group formation, we use the customer matching feature of Google Remarketing, for example. For this, we send certain customer data (e.g. email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the relevant customers are Google users and are logged into their Google account, they will be shown relevant advertisements within the Google network (e.g. in YouTube, Gmail or the search engine).
Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Using Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can identify whether the user has performed certain actions. We are therefore able to analyze which buttons on our website are clicked and how frequently, and which products are viewed or purchased particularly frequently. We use this information to create conversion statistics. We find out the total number of users who have clicked on our advertisements and which actions they have performed. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or similar recognition technologies for identification.
Google Conversion Tracking is used on the basis of Article 6(1)f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior, both to optimize its web offering and it advertising. Provided corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is based solely on the principle of Article 6(1)a GDPR); The consent may be revoked at any time.

This website uses functions of Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, (hereinafter “DoubleClick”).
DoubleClick is used to display interest-based advertisements to you throughout the entire Google advertising network. With the help of DoubleClick, the advertising can be specifically adapted to the interests of the respective viewer. This means our advertisement can be displayed in Google search results or in advertising banners that are associated with DoubleClick.
To be able to display interest-based advertising to users, DoubleClick must recognize the respective viewers and be able to assign visited websites, clicks and other user behavior information to them. To do this, DoubleClick uses cookies or similar recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). The information recorded is compiled into a pseudonym user profile in order to display interest-based advertising to the respective user.
Google DoubleClick is used in the interest of targeted advertising measures. This represents a legitimate interest in the meaning of Art. 6(1)f GDPR. Provided corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is based solely on the principle of Art. 6(1)a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Further details are not collected, or are collected on a voluntary basis only. We use this data only to send the requested information and will not pass it on to third parties.
The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed only on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)a GDPR). Consent to the storage of this data, the email address and its use for delivery of the newsletter can be revoked at any time using the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion and in the context of our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6(1)f GDPR.
Once removed from the newsletter distribution list, we or the newsletter service provider will save your email address in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The blacklist data is used solely for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in compliance with the statutory requirements regarding the delivery of newsletters (legitimate interest in the meaning of Article 6(1)f GDPR). There is no time limit to storage in the blacklist. You can object to the extent that your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
CleverReach
This website uses CleverReach to send newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede.

Our newsletters delivered with CleverReach enable us to analyze the behavior of our newsletter recipients. We can analyze, amongst other things, how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link has been clicked in the newsletter.

7. Plugins and tools
YouTube with extended data protection
This website incorporates YouTube videos. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about this website’s users before they view the video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. Therefore, YouTube – regardless of whether or not you view a video – establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is made to the YouTube servers. This informs the YouTube server about which of our web pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you are enabling YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
In addition, YouTube can store various cookies on your device after you start a video or can use similar recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, amongst other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent scamming attempts.
If relevant, after starting a YouTube video, other data processing transactions can be triggered on which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is carried out in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offering. This represents a legitimate interest in the meaning of Article 6(1)f GDPR. Provided corresponding consent has been requested, processing is based solely on the principle of Article 6(1)a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information on data protection at YouTube, see their data privacy notice at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Vimeo without tracking (Do-Not-Track)
This website uses plugins for the Vimeo video portal. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.
If you visit one of our sites equipped with Vimeo videos, a connection is established to the Vimeo servers. This informs the Vimeo server about which of our web pages you have visited. Vimeo also receives your IP address. However, we have configured Vimeo such that Vimeo does not track your user activities and does not use cookies.
The use of Vimeo is carried out in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offering. This represents a legitimate interest in the meaning of Art. 6(1)f GDPR. Provided corresponding consent has been requested, processing is based solely on the principle of Article 6(1)a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission as well as, according to Vimeo, on “legitimate business interests”. You can find details here: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

To the extent that we are unable to offer you a job, you reject a job offer or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data submitted by you on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)f GDPR) for up to 6 months following completion of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. Data retention in this case serves the purpose of verification in the case of a legal dispute. To the extent that it is clear that the data will be required after expiry of the 6 month term (e.g. due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion shall occur only once the purpose of further retention is no longer applicable.
Longer retention may also occur if you have granted corresponding consent (Article 6(1)a GDPR) or if statutory retention requirements oppose deletion.
