Recipients of personal data
We work with various external service providers as part of our business operations. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if it is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only share our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.

Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (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, in particular 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 have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Access, rectification, and erasure
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions about personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we have stored, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of this 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 can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
- If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. 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, 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 a member state.

Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can be placed by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Inquiries via email, phone, or fax
When you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your inquiry. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

5. Own Services
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., via email, post, or online application form). Below, we inform you about 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 occur in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
When you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and—if you have provided consent—Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with individuals involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
As part of the application process, we may also conduct an internet search regarding your person. This primarily includes Google searches, LinkedIn, and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest in obtaining a comprehensive impression of publicly available information about you in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data Retention Period
If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Subsequently, the data will be deleted and physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention serves, in particular, evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.
Data may be stored for a longer period if you have provided corresponding consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if legal retention requirements prevent deletion.
