Data collection on our website

- language,
- browser type and browser version,
- time of server request
- IP address,
- error codes,
- operating system used,
- referrer URL.
These data are in general not combined with data from other sources.
The legal basis for data collection and processing is article 6, par.1 lit. f) GDPR
(DSGVO). This statutory basis allows the justified interest for fulfilling a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
- Cookies
Some pages of our website uses so-called cookies. Cookies help making our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved for later use.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies” which are saved only for the duration of time of your current visit to our website. They are automatically deleted after terminating your visit to our website.
In case you do not wish to save cookies on your computer you can deactivate this option in the system settings of your browser. Cookies which have already been saved may be deleted in your system settings. Disabling cookies may however limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use are stored and processed pursuant to art. 6 par. 1, lit. f) of GDPR (DSGVO). We, the website operator, have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors.
If other cookies, such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
- Contact form / e-mail
In case you choose to contact us via our contact form on our website, the information on the contact form including your contact data entered by you into the form will be saved for dealing with your request and for possible further questions. This data will not be passed on without your express consent.
Data entered by you into our contact form will be processed in line with art. 6 par. 1 lit. a) GDPR (DSGVO). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal e-mail making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we received your request may still be legally processed. In case you contact us, e.g. by e-mail, without giving us your express consent, your data will be processed in line with art. 6 par. 1 lit. b) GDPR (DSGVO) regarding processing and handling of contact requests.
All data provided by you will remain with us unless you request deletion of your data, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for data storage has ceased. The latter is e.g. the case when processing your request has been terminated. The need shall be reviewed every two years. Regarding the legal obligatory storage period, your data shall be deleted after lapse of this period. Imperative legal provisions remain unaffected, in particular legal retention periods (six years for commercial data storage obligation and ten years for tax-relevant data).
- Applications/ Application procedure
The controller responsible for processing personal data collects and processes data of applicants with the purpose of handling a specific application procedure. This can also be done by electronic means, e.g. when an applicant transmits application documents to the contact person responsible for the job application by electronic means, e.g. by e-mail or via a web form on our website. In case the application results in an employment contract between the applicant and the responsible data processor, the personal data will be processed and stored according to legal regulations with the purpose to administer the employment. Article 6 par. 2 lit. b) GDPR (DSGVO) forms the legal basis for collecting and processing such data. This legal basis forms the legitimate interest for fulfilling a contract or pre-contractual measures. In case an employment contract is not concluded
with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted automatically two months after informing the applicant about cancelling, except deletion of data is opposed by other justified interest for processing by the responsible party. Such justified interest might be e.g. the obligation of evidence in proceedings of General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
