III. General information on data processing
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
Generally speaking, we only collect and use the personal data of our users in so far as necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. As a rule, the personal data of our users are only collected and used with the consent of the user. This does not apply to cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
2. Legal reasons for the processing of personal data
When we obtain the consent of a data subject to the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1a) of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data. Article 6 (1b) GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party. This also applies to data processing that is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract. Article 6 (1c) GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject.
Article 6 (1d) GDPR serves as legal basis if processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. Article 6 (1f) GDPR serves as legal grounds where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
3. Erasure of data and duration of storage
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for which they were stored has been achieved. Data can only be stored beyond this point if provided for by European or national legislation in European regulations, laws or other ordinance to which the controller is subject. The data will then be blocked or erased at the end of a storage period prescribed by these legal standards unless it is necessary to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

2. Legal reasons for data processing
Article 6 (1f) GDPR serves as the legal grounds for the temporary storage of the data and for the log files.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of an IP address by the system is necessary for the purpose of transmitting the website to the computer of the user. The IP address of the user has to remain stored for this purpose. It is stored in log files to guarantee the functionality of the website. Additionally, the data enable us to optimise the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. The data are not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. The element ‘gat._anonymizeIp();’ deletes the last eight bits of the IP address of the user and as such, they are not sent to Google. We also have a legitimate interest in data processing for these purposes in accordance with Article 6 (1f) GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
The data are erased as soon as they are no longer necessary for the achievement of the purpose for which they were collected. They can be stored for longer. In this case, the IP addresses of the user will be anonymised in order to prevent them from being associated with the visiting client.
5. No rights to object
The collection of the data in order to make the website available and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Therefore, the user has no right to object.

The conversation will be considered ended when the circumstances imply that the matter in question has been resolved.
5. Rights to object and erasure
The user can revoke his/her consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he/she can object to the storage of his/her personal data at any time.

VII. Use of analytics services
1. Webanalysis-service Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA.
On behalf of the website provider Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking). Especially for browsers on mobile devices, please click this link on Google Analytics on this website for your browser.
2. Google Maps
Additionally, we use Google Maps of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 944043 USA, on our website. With each visit at ‘Google Maps’ a Cookie will be set to make it possible to use user-settings and -data. This Cookie usually will not be deleted just through closing of the browser but expires after a certain amount of time if not deleted manually beforehand. You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with future effect if you deactivate ‘Google Maps’. To do so you have to deactivate the Java-script function of your browser. However, we would like to point out that, if you should choose to do so, you might not be able to use all of the features of ‘Google Maps’.
The use of ‘Google Maps’ and information generated via ‘Google Maps’ is regulated according to the Google-user terms of service.

IX. Application process
We collect and process personal data concerning you for the purposes of the application process. Article 6 (1b) GDPR, Section 26 of the (new) German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and, if you provide consent, Article 6 (1a) and Article 7 GDPR serve as the legal grounds in this instance.
It is important to us that we afford your personal data the greatest possible level of protection. All personal data that are collected and processed by us as part of an application are protected against hacking and manipulation by technical and organisational measures.
Your data are collected in order to fill vacancies throughout the group. Article 6 (1f) GDPR serves as the legal basis in this instance. By providing your data, you consent to the use of your data in all affiliated companies of the group.
The data can also be processed electronically. In particular, this is the case if you send us your application documents electronically, e.g. by e-mail or using the form on our website. If we enter into an employment contract with you, the transmitted data will be stored for the purposes of the employment relationship with consideration for the statutory regulations. If we do not enter into an employment contract with you, your application documents will be deleted automatically six months after we provide you with notice of rejection, provided that no other legitimate interests prevent the deletion. Other legitimate interests in this context might be a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
X. Encryption
In the interests of security and in order to protect the transmission of confidential content – e.g. through the form on our website as part of a job application – that you send to us, the operators of the website, our website uses SSL encryption. You can tell when a connection is encrypted when the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and the padlock icon appears in your browser bar. When SSL encryption is active, the data you send to us cannot be accessed by third parties.

c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
5. Right to notification
The controller shall communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to which you have exercised your right to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
The controller must inform you about those recipients if you request it.
6. Right to data portability
You are entitled to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Additionally, you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6 (1) GDPR or point (a) of Article 9 (2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6 (1) GDPR; and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This may not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

In the context of the use of information society services, and Directive 2002/58/EC notwithstanding, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
8. Right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the data controller;
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9 (1) GDPR, unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9 (2) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the General Data Protection Regulation. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
