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

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website
If, after the conclusion of a paid contract, you are required to transmit your payment details (e.g., bank account number for direct debit), this data is needed for payment processing.
Payment transactions via the common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.
When communication is encrypted, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not harm your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of specific services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart functionality or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you request (e.g., the shopping cart), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on 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. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

The data collected in this way is stored until you request its deletion, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.
The use of Cookiebot is intended to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

5. Social Media
This website integrates elements of the social network Facebook. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
You can find an overview of Facebook’s social media plugins here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE
When a social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your device and the Facebook server. This allows Facebook to receive information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like" button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website to your Facebook profile. This enables Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account.

This joint responsibility is limited solely to the collection and transfer of data to Facebook. Any processing by Facebook after data transmission is not part of the joint responsibility.

https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum
According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing privacy information when using the Facebook tool and for implementing the tool in a privacy-compliant way on our website. Facebook is responsible for the security of Facebook products. You may exercise data subject rights (e.g., access requests) directly with Facebook. If you assert your rights with us, we are obligated to forward them to Facebook.

However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on the website. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

The website operator uses Google Ads, an online advertising program provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). In addition, targeted advertising can be displayed based on user data available at Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can quantitatively evaluate this data, such as by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads resulted in clicks.
Use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

9. Own Services
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g., via email, by post, or through 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 legal provisions, and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
When you send us an application, we process the related personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, interview notes, etc.) to the extent necessary for making a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship.
The legal basis for this is:
Consent may be revoked at any time.
Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals involved in processing your application.
If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 BDSG and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Data Retention Period
If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal). After this period, the data will be deleted, and any physical application documents will be destroyed.
This retention primarily serves as evidence in case of a legal dispute.
If it becomes apparent that the data will be needed beyond the 6-month period (e.g., due to a potential or ongoing legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for extended retention no longer exists.
A longer retention period may also occur if you have given your express 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, we may offer to include you in our applicant pool. If you agree to be included, all documents and information from your application will be stored in the pool to contact you in case of suitable job openings.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Providing this consent is entirely voluntary and unrelated to the ongoing application process.
You may revoke your consent at any time. In such a case, your data will be permanently deleted from the applicant pool, unless legal retention obligations apply.
Data in the applicant pool will be permanently deleted no later than two years after consent was given.
