COOKIES

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via a web browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific web browser in which it was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the data subject’s individual browser from other web browsers that contain different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, we are able to provide users of this website with services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

The data subject may prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of the web browser being used, thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common web browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the web browser they are using, not all features of our website may be fully usable under certain circumstances.

COLLECTION OF GENERAL DATA AND INFORMATION

Every time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website, the website collects a range of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages of our website accessed via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to prevent threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

Data Protection for Job Applications and the Application Process

The controller responsible for the processing collects and processes applicants’ personal data in order to handle the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically if an applicant submits their application documents to the controller electronically, e.g., via email or through a web form on the website. If the controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the data provided will be stored in accordance with legal requirements for the administration of the employment relationship.

If the data controller does not enter into an employment contract with an applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is communicated, unless the data controller has other legitimate interests that prevent this.

CONTACT US VIA OUR WEBSITE

In accordance with legal requirements, this website contains information that enables users to quickly contact our company electronically and communicate directly with us, including a general electronic mail address (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller via email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties.

ROUTINE DELETION AND BLOCKING OF PERSONAL DATA

We store the data subject's personal data only for the period necessary to fulfill the purpose of storage.

RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

A) RIGHT TO CONFIRMATION

Every data subject has the right to request confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

B) RIGHT TO ACCESS INFORMATION

Any individual whose personal data is being processed has the right to obtain, at any time and free of charge, information from the data controller regarding the personal data stored about them, as well as a copy of that information. This applies in particular to the following information:

the purposes of processing
the categories of personal data that are processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
if possible, the planned period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
the existence of a right to have personal data concerning them rectified or erased, or to have the processing restricted by the controller, or a right to object to such processing
the existence of a right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority
if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: all available information regarding the source of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, as referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and—at least in such cases—meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended consequences of such processing for the data subject

In addition, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

C) RIGHT TO CORRECTION

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request that incomplete personal data be completed—including by means of a supplementary statement—taking into account the purposes of the processing.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

D) RIGHT TO ERASURE (RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN)

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right to request that the controller erase the personal data concerning him or her without delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary:

The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data was processed unlawfully.
The erasure of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in connection with the information society services offered, in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If any of the reasons listed above apply and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of stored personal data, he or she may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

If the personal data has been made public and our company, as the controller, is obligated under Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, we shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the costs of implementation, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested that these other data controllers delete all links to such personal data or copies or replicas of such personal data, provided that the processing is not necessary. The employee will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.

E) RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right to request that the controller restrict the processing if any of the following conditions are met:

The data subject disputes the accuracy of the personal data for a period of time that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data, and instead requests that the use of the personal data be restricted.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.

If any of the above conditions are met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of stored personal data, he or she may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

F) RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

Every data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right to receive the personal data concerning them—which they have provided to a controller—in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or to request that such data be transmitted to another third party.

G) RIGHT TO OBJECT

Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them that is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If you object to the processing of your personal data, we will no longer process it unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

H) AUTOMATED DECISIONS IN INDIVIDUAL CASES, INCLUDING PROFILING

Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects concerning the data subject or similarly significantly affects the data subject, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and that law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms as well as legitimate interests; or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is it made with the data subject’s explicit consent, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms as well as their legitimate interests, including, at a minimum, the right to request human intervention on the part of the controller, to present their own point of view, and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights related to automated decision-making, they may contact a representative of the data controller at any time.

I) RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT UNDER DATA PROTECTION LAW

Any individual whose personal data is being processed has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data—with future effect—at any time.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

Article 6(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company’s processing activities in which we obtain consent for a specific purpose of processing. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party—as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration—the processing is based on Article 6(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data—such as to fulfill tax obligations—the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and, as a result, their name, age, health insurance information, or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, a hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.
Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, provided that the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject take precedence.

PERIOD FOR WHICH PERSONAL DATA IS STORED

The criterion for determining how long personal data is stored is the applicable statutory retention period. Once this period has expired, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract.

LEGAL OR CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROVISION OF PERSONAL DATA; NECESSITY FOR THE CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT; OBLIGATION OF THE DATA SUBJECT TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA; POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUCH DATA

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is, in some cases, required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party).
In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process.

THE EXISTENCE OF AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

Automated decision-making does not take place.
