"Pseudonymization" means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
"Profiling" means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing. If the legal basis is not stated in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 (1) lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing for the performance of our services and implementation of contractual measures and answering inquiries is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the processing, as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk. Measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access to, input, transmission, securing the availability of, and separation of data. We also have procedures in place to ensure that data subjects can exercise their rights, delete data, and respond to data threats. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (Art. 25 GDPR).
If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties) as part of our processing, transmit data to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done only on the basis of legal permission (e.g., if a transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is required for the performance of the contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, web hosts, etc.). If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "data processing agreement", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this is done only if it occurs for the fulfillment of our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation, or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or have data processed in a third country only if the special conditions of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. This means that processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU (e.g., for the USA through the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether data in question is being processed and to obtain information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. You have the right in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR to request the completion of data concerning you or the rectification of incorrect data concerning you. In accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to demand that data in question be deleted immediately or, alternatively, in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, to demand restriction of processing of the data. You have the right to request that the data concerning you that you have provided to us be obtained in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR and to demand that it be transmitted to other controllers. You also have the right pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
You have the right to revoke any consent granted pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR with effect for the future
You may object at any time to the future processing of data concerning you in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. The objection may be made in particular against processing for purposes of direct advertising.
Cookies are small files that are stored on users' computers. Different data can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit within an online offer. Temporarily stored cookies, also known as "session cookies" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes their browser. In such a cookie, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online store or a login status can be stored. Cookies are called "permanent" or "persistent" if they remain stored even after the browser is closed. Thus, for example, the login status can be saved if users visit them after several days. Likewise, the interests of users can be stored in such a cookie, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. "Third-party cookies" are cookies offered by providers other than the controller operating the online offer (otherwise, if it is only their cookies, they are called "first-party cookies"). We may use temporary and permanent cookies and provide information about this in our privacy policy. If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in their browser's system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. The exclusion of cookies may result in functional limitations of this online offer. A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offer can then be used.
The data processed by us will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored with us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its purpose and no legal retention obligations prevent deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing is restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons. According to legal requirements in Germany, storage takes place in particular for 10 years in accordance with §§ 147 para. 1 AO, 257 para. 1 nos. 1 and 4, para. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting records, commercial books, documents relevant to taxation, etc.) and 6 years in accordance with § 257 para. 1 nos. 2 and 3, para. 4 HGB (commercial letters).
Additionally, we process – contract data (e.g., contract subject matter, term, customer category). – payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history) of our customers, prospects, and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising, and market research.
We process applicant data only for the purpose and to the extent necessary for the application process in compliance with legal requirements. The processing of applicant data is carried out to fulfill our (pre)contractual obligations within the framework of the application process in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR if the data processing becomes necessary for us, for example, within the framework of legal procedures (in Germany, § 26 BDSG additionally applies). The application process presupposes that applicants provide us with the applicant data. The necessary applicant data are, if we offer an online form, marked, otherwise result from the job descriptions and generally include information on the person, postal and contact addresses, and the documents belonging to the application, such as cover letter, curriculum vitae, and certificates. In addition, applicants can voluntarily provide us with additional information. By submitting the application to us, applicants consent to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the type and scope set out in this privacy policy. Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily communicated within the framework of the application process, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b GDPR (e.g., health data, such as severe disability status or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants during the application process, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR (e.g., health data if these are necessary for the exercise of the profession). If provided, applicants can submit their applications to us via an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us in encrypted form in accordance with the state of the art. Applicants can also send us their applications by email. However, please note that emails are generally not sent in encrypted form and applicants must ensure encryption themselves. We cannot therefore accept any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and receipt on our server and recommend rather using an online form or sending by post. In addition to the application via the online form and email, applicants still have the option of sending us the application by post. The data provided by applicants may be processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship in the event of a successful application. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicants' data will be deleted. Applicants' data is also deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time. Deletion takes place, subject to a justified revocation by applicants, after the expiry of a period of six months, so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and meet our obligations to provide evidence under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses are archived in accordance with tax law requirements.
We maintain online presence within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, prospects, and users active there and to inform them about our services there. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing policies of their respective operators apply. Unless otherwise stated in the context of our privacy policy, we process the data of users insofar as they communicate with us within social networks and platforms, e.g., write posts on our online presence or send us messages.
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR), we use social plugins ("plugins") of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The plugins can represent interactive elements or content (e.g., videos, graphics, or text contributions) and are identifiable by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on blue tile, terms "Like", "Gefällt mir", or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and appearance of Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active). When a user calls up a function of this online offer that contains such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection with Facebook's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user's device and integrated by them into the online offer. In this process, user profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the scope of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and inform users according to our knowledge. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from their device to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook learns and stores their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this online offer and link it to their member data stored on Facebook, they must log out of Facebook before using our online offer and delete their cookies. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, i.e., they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
We use third-party content or service offerings within our online offer based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content"). This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the users because they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We try to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device and contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit, and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.
