If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed.

In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Information on Data Transfers to Non-Secure Third Countries and Transfers to U.S. Companies Not Certified Under the DPF

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, as well as U.S.-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries.

Please note that in third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, a level of data protection comparable to that of the European Union cannot be guaranteed.

Please note that the United States is generally considered a secure third country if the recipient is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or provides appropriate additional safeguards. Information regarding transfers to third countries, including the recipients of data, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties.

We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits such disclosure.

When using data processors, we disclose personal data only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any consent already granted at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to the revocation shall remain unaffected by such revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to have this data corrected or deleted. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or if you have further questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, 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.

SSL and TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address line from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon displayed in your browser.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data Collection on This Website
Cookies

Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g., cookies used to process payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website features would not function without them (e.g., shopping cart functionality or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required to carry out electronic communications, to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart functionality), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience statistics) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

Where consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of such consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG). Consent may be revoked at any time.

You may configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Information about which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The collection of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website; for this purpose, server log files must be recorded.
Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if such consent has been requested. Consent may be revoked at any time.

The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Inquiries by E-Mail, Telephone, or Fax

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if such consent has been requested. Consent may be revoked at any time.

The data transmitted by you to us through contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Comment Function on This Website

For the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information regarding the time the comment was created, your e-mail address, and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you have chosen will also be stored.

Storage of the IP Address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who submit comments. Since comments on this website are not reviewed before publication, we require this data in order to take action against the author in the event of legal violations, such as defamatory statements or unlawful content.

Subscribing to Comments

As a user of this website, you may subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation e-mail to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided. You may unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link included in the informational e-mails. In this case, the data entered when subscribing to comments will be deleted. However, if you have provided this data to us for other purposes and in another context (e.g., subscribing to a newsletter), such data will remain with us.

Storage Period for Comments

Comments and the associated data are stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments must be removed for legal reasons (e.g., unlawful comments).

Legal Basis

Comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have granted at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Social Media Elements with Shariff

8. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode

This website embeds videos from the YouTube platform. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch a video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent the transfer of data to YouTube partners.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud attempts.

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online content in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device within the meaning of the TTDSG.

If you are logged into your Vimeo account, Vimeo enables it to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.

Vimeo uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) to recognize website visitors.

The use of Vimeo is in the interest of presenting our online content in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

OpenStreetMap

We use the mapping service provided by OpenStreetMap (OSM).

We integrate map material from OpenStreetMap on servers operated by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom is considered a third country with an adequate level of data protection. This means that the United Kingdom offers a level of data protection equivalent to that of the European Union.

When using OpenStreetMap maps, a connection is established to the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. In the process, your IP address and other information about your behavior on this website may be transmitted to OSM. OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser or use comparable recognition technologies for this purpose.

The use of OpenStreetMap is in the interest of presenting our online services attractively and making the locations specified on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Handling Applicant Data

We offer website visitors the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by e-mail, postal mail, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of the 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 laws and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary for making a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest where applicable), and, in Germany, Section 26 BDSG (initiation of an employment relationship).

Where consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Within our company, your personal data will only be disclosed to individuals involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and Section 26 BDSG for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period

If we are unable to offer you a position, if you reject a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six (6) months following the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

After this period, the data will be deleted and any physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves primarily as evidence in the event of legal disputes.

If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiration of the six-month period (e.g., due to pending or threatened legal proceedings), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also occur if you have provided your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we do not offer you a position, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you should suitable vacancies arise.

Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and is unrelated to the ongoing application process.

You may revoke your consent at any time. In such a case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool unless statutory retention obligations apply.

Data stored in the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two (2) years after consent has been granted.

Affiliate Programs and Partner Links

This website may participate in affiliate partner programs. If you click on an affiliate link on this website and subsequently make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the respective provider. For this purpose, it may be necessary for the respective provider to recognize that you have accessed the partner link via this website.

The use of affiliate links is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in this processing, as commission payments are only used to determine the amount of affiliate compensation.

Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device. Consent may be revoked at any time.

hCaptcha

We use hCaptcha on this website. The provider is Intuition Machines, Inc., 350 Alabama St, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA.

hCaptcha is used to determine whether data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is being entered by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of website visitors based on various characteristics.

This analysis begins automatically as soon as a visitor enters a website with hCaptcha enabled. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various types of information (e.g., IP address, time spent on the website, or mouse movements performed by the user).

The data collected during the analysis is transmitted to hCaptcha.

The use of hCaptcha is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its online services against abusive automated spying and spam.

Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Data processing is based on standard contractual clauses contained in the Data Processing Addendum to hCaptcha's Terms of Service.
