If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze key professional data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, with the help of LinkedIn Insight Tags, we can measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or perform another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be cross-device (e.g., from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function that enables us to show targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside of the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place. LinkedIn also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics, and time of access). IP addresses are shortened or (if used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). Direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days. The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned by us as the website operator to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising measures. Details can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig .

If no consent has been obtained, this service is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs .

To avoid LinkedIn linking data collected on our website with your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website. Newsletter Newsletter data If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. The data entered into the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke the consent you have given for the storage of data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the newsletter service provider and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest. Plugins and tools YouTube with enhanced privacy This website embeds videos from YouTube. The website is operated by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When you visit one of our pages on which YouTube is integrated, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. In the process, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in enhanced privacy mode are not used to personalize browsing on YouTube. Ads shown in enhanced privacy mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in enhanced privacy mode. Instead, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser, which, similar to cookies, contain personal data and can be used for recognition. Details on enhanced privacy mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780 . Further data processing operations may be triggered after activating a YouTube video, over which we have no influence. The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If corresponding consent was requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de .

Google reCAPTCHA We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is carried out by a human or an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, length of stay of the website visitor on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place. Data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and from spam. If corresponding consent was requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Further information on Google reCAPTCHA can be found in Google’s privacy policy and terms of use at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de .

Audio and video conferences Data processing We use, among other things, online conference tools to communicate with our customers. The specific tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool. The conference tools collect all data you provide/use to use the tools (email address and/or your phone number). In addition, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants, and other “context information” in connection with the communication process (metadata). Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required for handling online communication. This includes in particular IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection. If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service. Please note that we do not have complete influence over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options depend largely on the corporate policies of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the tools used, which are listed below this text. Purpose and legal bases The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to provide certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). In addition, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us and/or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If consent was requested, the use of the tools in question is based on this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Storage period Data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. We have no influence over the storage period of your data stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly. Conference tools used We use the following conference tools: Zoom We use Zoom.

Our own services Handling of applicant data We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected in the course of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated confidentially. Scope and purpose of data collection If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes in the course of interviews, etc.) insofar as this is 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), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data is shared within our company only with persons involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship. Retention period of the data If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a looming or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention no longer applies. Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Google Drive is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in a reliable upload area on its website. If corresponding consent was requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
