In addition, processors (Art. 28 GDPR) engaged by us may also obtain access to data for the above-mentioned purposes. These are companies in the categories IT services, Hosting-service provider, printing services, sales and marketing. If we use processors to provide our services, we will take appropriate legal precautions as well as the relevant technical and organizational measures to protect personal data in accordance with applicable law.
Any transfer of data to third parties will be made only within the scope of legal requirements. We will disclose your data to third parties only if this is required, for example, under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contractual purposes or based on legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in the economic and effective operation of our business or if you have consented to the transfer of data. In the case of purely informational use of the website, we do not pass on any data to third parties.
|
5. How long will my data be retained? |
For security reasons (e.g. to clarify acts of abuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted (see point 2 above). Data whose further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the final clarification of the respective incident.
As far as necessary, we process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes, for example, the initiation of a contract via contact form or by e-mail.
Applicant data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of a rejection. If you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There, the data will be deleted if you revoke your consent or after 5 years at the latest. Should we fill the advertised position with you, your data will be stored in our personnel management system.
In addition, we are subject to various storage and documentation obligations, which result, among other things, from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO). The retention and documentation periods specified there are six and ten years respectively.
Finally, the storage period is also assessed according to the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), are usually 3 years, but in certain cases can be up to thirty years, whereby the regular limitation period is three years.
If you exercise your rights as a data subject, we will store the information provided to you in this regard until the expiry of the statutory limitation period pursuant to Section 31 para 2 no 1 OWiG, Section 41 para 1 BDSG, Article 83 para 5 lit b GDPR for 3 years. This period may be extended if the statutory limitation period is extended due to interruptions of the limitation period (e.g. in the context of inquiries by the supervisory authorities).
|
6. Are data transferred to a third country or to an international organization? |
The data provided will be processed within the European Union and in the USA. For countries without an adequacy decision by the Commission according to Article 45 GDPR, as is the case with the USA, we generally agree on EU standard contractual clauses with the recipients of your data or obtain your consent for the data transfer.
Note: The protection of personal data in the USA does not correspond to the level of data protection required by the EU. In particular, there are no enforceable rights to protect your data against access by government authorities. Therefore, there is a risk that these government agencies can access the personal data without the data transmitter or the recipient being able to effectively prevent this.

7. What are my data subject rights? |
In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right of access as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data. In this case, we will provide you with the stored personal data. You also have the right to the information specified in detail in Art. 15 para 1 GDPR.

You have the right, in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted if one of the conditions of Art. 18 para 1 GDPR is met. In this case, we may continue to store this data, but may process it only under strict conditions. The conditions and restrictions of the right to restrict processing are set out in detail in Art. 18 GDPR.
Pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, you have a right to data portability.

The requirements and restrictions of the aforementioned rights in detail can be found in Art. 20 para 3 and 4 GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. Please note that the withdrawal only takes effect for the future and does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent up to the withdrawal.

You have a right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

In the context of accessing our website or in the context of contacting us by form or e-mail, we do not use any fully automated decision-making pursuant to Article 22 GDPR.

By giving your consent via our cookie banner, you consent to the processing of your data in the USA, despite potential access by US authorities, Art. 49 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Google processes the data for us to evaluate the use of our website by the website visitors, to create reports about the activities within our website and to provide further services connected with the use of our website. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles of the website visitors are created from the processed data.
During your visit to the website, the following information is collected, among other things:

- Achievement of contact targets, such as contact requests or newsletter sign-ups,
- Your use of our website, for example clicks and time spent on one of our pages,

- Technical information such as browser type, internet provider used, terminal device and screen resolution,
- Via which website or advertising medium you came to us.
Google Analytics stores cookies in your browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID that can be used to recognise you on future visits to the website.
The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Other, non-personal data remain stored in aggregated form for an unlimited period of time. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with other data from Google.
We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within the European Union or European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
You can prevent the storage of cookies either by rejecting them in our cookie banner or by setting your browser accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and the transmission to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser opt-out plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
