Notice Regarding Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries that do not provide adequate data protection under EU law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that in these countries, data protection comparable to the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, U.S. companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities, without the possibility for you as the data subject to take legal action. We cannot influence these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR)

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In case of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have it transmitted to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Right to Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing. You also have a right to correction or deletion of this data, if applicable. For this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, 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 can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line of the browser changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example, through spam emails.

Cookies can be first-party cookies (set by us) or third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies serve different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for storing cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out solely on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.
Details about the cookies and services used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Personal identification of website visitors does not take place, and no other personal data is merged with these user profiles. If IP addresses are identified as personal, they are deleted immediately. You can object to the processing described here at any time with future effect by excluding visitor tracking (Note: the link sets a 1st-party cookie for an opt-out).

Our Services

Handling Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). The following information explains the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data comply with applicable data protection laws and all other statutory provisions, and your data will be treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
If you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.), to the extent necessary for making a decision on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data is only shared with those involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of executing the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period
If we cannot 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 provided for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The data will then be deleted, and any physical application documents will be destroyed. This retention serves as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or anticipated legal dispute), deletion will occur only once the purpose for extended retention no longer applies.
Longer retention may also occur if you have given consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool
If we do not make you a job offer, we may offer to include you in our applicant pool. If you agree to join, all documents and details from your application will be added to the applicant pool to contact you in case of suitable job openings.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. You can withdraw your consent at any time. In such cases, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no statutory retention requirements.
Data in the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.
