II. General Information on collected data, legal bases and purposes of storage

“Personal data” within the meaning of the GDPR and the BDSG means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, in particular, information that enables conclusions to be drawn about your identity.

When using our website for purely informational purposes, i.e. if you do not contact us in any other way, we only process the personal data that your browser transmits to our server and which is technically necessary for the presentation of our website and the guarantee of stability and security. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

You can decide which personal data you give to us. If we ask you to transmit personal data to us, you can of course refuse to do so. However, we may not be able to offer you certain services in this case. We have marked the mandatory information that we require for the provision of our services accordingly.

You have various options for contacting us. Data processing in this context will be examined below in more detail:

2. Applications

You can apply for a job at our company via e-mail or post. The purpose of this data processing is to carry out the application process in order to possibly establish an employment relationship. To process your application, we collect the data you provide. Since confidentiality cannot be guaranteed if applications are sent unencrypted by e-mail, you can also apply by post. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) S. 1 lit. b and Art. 88 (1) GDPR and. § 26 (1) BDSG. If no employment relationship is established on the basis of the application, this data will be deleted six months after completion of the application procedure.

III. Recipients of data

We will only pass on your data if this is permitted by German or European law. The third parties we involve can be divided into the following categories:

  • Technical service providers (e.g. operation of computer centers)
  • Logistics companies (e.g. postal services)

All third parties to whom we transmit your personal data may only use this data for the above-mentioned purposes. In addition, they are obliged to process the data only in accordance with our specifications and the relevant data protection laws.

Service providers are carefully selected and commissioned by us and are bound by our instructions. Furthermore, we are contractually entitled to monitor compliance with the relevant contractual and statutory regulations of the service providers.

The legal basis for the disclosure of your personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a or lit. b GDPR.

In the event of a statutory obligation, we also reserve the right to disclose information about you if we are required to do so by lawfully acting authorities or criminal prosecution bodies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.

IV. Storage period

We store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose stated in this Privacy Information, in particular to fulfill our legal and contractual obligations. Once the purpose has been achieved, this data will be deleted unless the law permits us to continue storing it for specific purposes, including the defence of legal claims.

VI. Right of revocation and objection

You have the right to revoke any consent given to us at any time. The processing based on this consent will then no longer be continued in the future. The legality of the processing based on the consent until revocation is not affected by the revocation.

If we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.

You can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time, even without stating reasons.
