Right to Data Portability

You have the right to obtain data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in itself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of the data to another person in charge, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as a site operator. An encrypted connection is indicated by the browser's address bar changing from "http: //" to "https: //" and the lock icon in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the disclaimer. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases.

• If you deny the accuracy of your personal information stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal information but you need it for the purpose of exercising, defending or enforcing legal claims, you have the right to demand that your personal data be restricted instead of being deleted.
• If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21, 1, GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be used (apart from saving it) with your consent or for the purposes of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for important public interest of the European Union or a Member State

Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you wish to use (e.g. shopping cart function) are saved on the basis of Art. 6, Par. 1, f, GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically correct and optimized provision of its services. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6, Par.1, a, GDPR; the consent is revocable at any time.

If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behavior) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Inquiry by E-mail, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6, Par. 1, b, GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is required to carry out pre-contractual action. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art, 6, Par. 1, a, GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6, Par. 1, f, GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remains with us until you ask us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage is omitted (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

1&1 Web Analytics

This website uses the analytics services provided by 1 & 1-Webanalytics. Provider is 1 & 1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, D - 56410 Montabaur. While analyzing, 1 & 1 can analyze visitor traffic and behavior (e.g., number of pageviews, duration of a website visit, bounce rates), traffic sources (that is, which page visitors come from), visitor locations, and technical data (browser and operating system versions) among others. For this purpose, 1 & 1 stores in particular the following data:

• Referrer (previously visited website)
• Requested website or file
• Browser type and browser version
• Used operating system
• Used device type
• Time of access
• IP address in anonymous form (used only to determine the location of access)

According to 1 & 1, the data collection is completely anonymized so that it cannot be traced back to individual persons. Cookies are not stored by 1 & 1-Webanalytics.

The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6, Par. 1, f, GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6, Par. 1, a, GDPR; the consent is revocable at any time.

Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to receive our newsletter, we require an e-mail address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data are not collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for the delivery of the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the given data is exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6, Par. 1, a, GDPR). The granted consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. The legality of the already completed data processing operations remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data deposited with us for the purpose of obtaining the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until the time of your removal from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after the newsletter has been canceled. Data stored for other purposes with us remains unaffected.

After your cancellation from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address with us or the newsletter service provider may be stored in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6, Par. 1, f, GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Own Services

Handling Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail or post). In the following, we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure that the collection, processing and use of your data will be in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be kept strictly confidential

Scope and Purpose of the Data Collection

If you send us an application, we will process your related personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes in the context of job interviews, etc.), as far as this is necessary for a decision on the establishment of employment. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6, Par. 1, b, GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6, Par. 1, a, GDPR. The consent is revocable at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons who are involved in the processing of your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be processed on the basis of § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6, Par. 1, b, GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship in our data processing systems.

Retention Period of the Data

If we cannot give you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to save the data you provided based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6, Par. 1, f, GDPR) up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterwards the data will be deleted and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves as proof in particular in case of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the expiration of the 6-month period (for example due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the cancellation will not take place until the purpose for further storage has expired

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6, Par. 1, a, GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion.
