Privacy statement
1. General information
As the operator, we take the protection of your personal data on our website very seriously. We treat your personal data in confidence and in compliance with the provisions of data protection law.
As a general rule it is possible to use our website without providing any personal data. If a data subject wishes to use our company’s special services via our Internet site, it can become necessary to process personal data, however. Insofar as personal data are collected on our sites, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. The personal data of a data subject, for instance a person’s name, address, e-mail address or telephone number, are collected and processed in compliance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulations (EU GDPR), the (new) German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG new), the applicable data protection regulations of the German Federal States and the German Telemedia Act (TMG).
We point out that the transmission of data via the Internet (e.g. in communications by e-mail) can have security loopholes. It is not possible to have complete protection of data against access by third parties. Everyone is at liberty to transmit personal data to us via alternative channels, for instance on the telephone or via the postal service.

5.3 Cookies
We use so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device (PC, tablet etc.) by the Internet server or are created by an embedded script. A cookie can only contain information which we send to your computer ourselves – no personal data can be read.
We use cookies that are either briefly stored in your working memory and then deleted again as soon as you close your browser (Session Cookies), or cookies that are saved for a longer period in your storage medium (Temporary Cookies).
The first time you access a website, a Session Cookie allocates a randomly-generated character string (Session ID) to your terminal device to control the connection and uniquely distinguish your device from other visitors accessing the page at the same time and thus characterizes the respective access to the page. This cookie contains the Session ID in which the accessing Internet server and the access time are encrypted. We use Session Cookies to maintain the connection during your visit to our website.
Temporary Cookies are solely used to design our offer in a manner which is convenient for you and tailored to your requirements and to make your use of our offer easier by not having to repeatedly enter certain information when you revisit, and to refer you to our offer quickly. Temporary Cookies are deleted automatically after a certain period of inactivity (Defined Session Timeout). Inactivity means that you have not returned to our website in the meantime. The Defined Session Timeout is generally a three-year period from the date when you were first identified by the Temporary Cookie.
The legal grounds for the processing of your personal data are our legitimate interest in the technical functionality of our website and in enhancing our service offer on the website (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR) and your consent (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR. Please note the explanations we have provided in section 8 regarding the withdrawal of your consent.
You can use your browser settings to refuse cookies, delete them from your computer, block them or to activate the function to ensure that you are always asked before cookies are set. You do not have to accept cookies to use our website. We do point out, however, that the use of the …function might possibly be restricted. By way of example we illustrate how to disable cookies below:

5.4 Web analysis with Google Analytics
We deploy tracking tools to ensure that the design of our website is tailored to suit needs and that our site is continually optimized, and also in order to capture statistics on the use of our website and for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Google”).
In this connection, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookies on your use of our website, such as browser type/version, the operating system used, referrer URL (the page previously visited), host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and time of the server access, are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to perform further services associated with the website and Internet usage for the purposes of market research and for the design of these web pages customized to suit needs. This information is also possibly transferred to third parties if this is prescribed by law or insofar as third parties are commissioned to process these data.
Your IP address will not be combined with other data from Google in any event. The IP addresses are anonymized so that no allocation is possible (IP masking). In order to guarantee the anonymized capture of IP addresses, the code „gat._anonymizeIp();“ has been added to Google Analytics so that IP addresses are always only processed after being shortened so as to rule out any possibility of a personal connection.
You can prevent the cookies from being installed by setting your browser software accordingly; we do point out, however, that in this case it is possible that you might not be able to fully use all of the functions of this website.
In addition, you can prevent the data generated by the cookie that relate to your use of the website (inclusive of your IP address) from being collected and processed by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from capturing data by clicking on the following link to activate an opt-out cookie: incorporation of the function to activate the opt-out cookie… This sets an opt-out cookie to prevent your data from being captured in future when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie only applies in this browser and only to our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in your browser, then you have to set the opt-out cookie again.
Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in the Google Analytics support (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).
The legal ground for the processing of your personal data by Google Analytics is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR.
5.5 Data protection regulations on the implementation and use of YouTube
We have integrated components of YouTube into this Internet page. YouTube is an Internet video portal enabling video publishers to upload videoclips free of charge and other users to view, evaluate and comment on them, also on a cost-free basis. YouTube permits the publication of all types of videos; this is why both complete film and television broadcasts and also music videos, trailers and videos produced by the users themselves can be downloaded via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Every time a data subject accesses one of the individual pages of this Internet site operated by the controller of processing that a YouTube component (YouTube Video) has been integrated into, the respective YouTube component automatically arranges for the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system to download a presentation of the respective YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be obtained at: https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de. In connection with this technical process, YouTube and Google obtain knowledge of the specific sub-site of our Internet site which is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is simultaneously logged on to YouTube, YouTube knows, through the access to a sub-site containing a YouTube video, which specific sub-site of our Internet site this data subject is visiting. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and allocated to the relevant YouTube account of the data subject. Through the YouTube component, YouTube und Google always obtain the information that the data subject has visited our Internet site, provided that the data subject is simultaneously logged on to YouTube when visiting our site; this happens irrespective of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not wish to have such information transmitted to YouTube and Google, the data subject can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her YouTube account before visiting our Internet site.
The data protection regulations published by YouTube available at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
5.6 Data processing on commission/transferring data
5.6.1 Data processing on commission
Notwithstanding other provisions, we reserve the right to transfer your data on the basis of the afore-stated legal grounds to third parties commissioned by us (processing of data by a processor) (e.g. in connection with IT support). Agreements on data processing on commission always exist with service providers thus commissioned. Such service providers ensure that the data transferred accordingly are solely used by our agents for performance of the tasks stipulated by us in accordance with the afore-stated purpose and in compliance with the necessary technical and organizational measures for data security and data protection.
5.6.2 Transferring data to third parties
Otherwise there shall be no transfer of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those set forth below. We only transfer your personal data to third parties if:
- you have given us your explicit consent to this pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR;
- such transfer is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-transfer of your data;
- in the event that there is a legal obligation for the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 c) GDPR and
- if this is legally permissible and necessary pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 b) GDPR for handling the contractual relationships with you.
6. Encryption/data security
SSL encryption (so-called Secure Socket Layer – certificate) is always applied to the collection, processing and use of your data via our website. SSL is used to encrypt the continuous flow of data on the Internet between the server and the browser of a user so as to prevent “covert interception and retrieval” – insofar as is technically possible. An SSL connection can be identified, among other things, by the fact that the URL starts with “https://” in the address bar of your browser and/or by a “padlock symbol” (icon) next to the address bar of your browser. By clicking on the icon, you can obtain further information on the encryption and/or on the SSL certificate used, depending on which browser you use.
Moreover, we use all reasonable, suitable, technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss or destruction and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continually improved and further evolved in accordance with technological development.
7. Erasure of the data/restriction of data processing
Your data will be erased in principle if your consent has lapsed or if the data are no longer required for the purpose of the data processing and if there is no longer any legitimate interest in further storage and processing. If these data have to continue to be stored, however, due to existing statutory, official or contractual obligations (e.g. warranty, financial accounting), the data processing will be restricted by means of marking these data and making them unavailable.
8. Rights of the data subject
8.1 Right to confirmation (Art. 15 GDPR)
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislature to obtain from the controller of the processing confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

The data protection officer, our contact person for data protection or another employee will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without undue delay.
Where we have made the personal data public and our company is obliged as controller pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR to erase the personal data, we shall take reasonable steps, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, including technical measures, to inform other controllers which are processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. Our contact person for data protection (see sub-sec. 3.2 above for contact details) will arrange for what is necessary in each individual case.
8.5 Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right granted by the European legislature to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:

If an objection is lodged we shall no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the processing serves for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for the purpose of such marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

9. Data protection in job applications and in the application process
We collect and process the personal data of job applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing may also be carried out by electronic means or by means of a form. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits respective application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or online. If we enter into an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with statutory regulations. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents shall be automatically erased six months after notification of the rejection, provided that no other legitimate interests oppose the erasure. Another legitimate interest within this sense of the term is, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).
