4) Cookies

To make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies—small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after you close your browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a longer period and allow site settings to be saved (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.

Insofar as personal data is also processed by individual cookies we use, processing is carried out either pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for the performance of a contract, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in the event of consent, or pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the website visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually on their acceptance, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.

Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted.

5) Contact

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and for contacting you, as well as for the related technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

6) Website Functionalities

On our website, we advertise currently vacant positions in a separate section, for which interested parties can apply via email to the contact address provided.

Applicants must provide all personal data necessary for a well-founded assessment, including general information such as name, address, and contact details, as well as performance-related documentation and, if applicable, health-related information. Further details regarding the application can be found in the job posting.

After receiving an application via email, the data will be stored and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application. In case of queries, we will use either the applicant’s email address or telephone number. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (and § 26 (1) BDSG), according to which participation in the application process is considered the initiation of an employment contract.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR (e.g., health data such as information on disability status) are requested from applicants in the course of the application process, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b GDPR in order for us to exercise rights and fulfill obligations arising from employment law, social security law, and social protection law.

Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of special categories of data may also be based on Art. 9 (1) lit. h GDPR if it is carried out for purposes of preventive healthcare or occupational medicine, for assessing the applicant’s working capacity, for medical diagnosis, the provision or treatment in the health or social care sector, or for the management of health or social care systems and services.

If an applicant is not selected or withdraws their application prematurely, the data transmitted as well as all electronic correspondence, including the application email, will be deleted no later than 6 months after the corresponding notification. This period is determined by our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and, if necessary, to fulfill our obligations to provide evidence under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (in the case of processing in Germany in conjunction with § 26 (1) BDSG) for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

6.2 Online applications via a form

7) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie-Consent-Tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain valid user consents for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when the page is accessed in the form of an interactive user interface, where consents for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking checkboxes. Through the use of this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by ticking the checkbox. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user’s device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies, and thus in the legally compliant design of our online presence.

Another legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. As the controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of non-essential cookies dependent on the respective user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE PERSONAL DATA IN QUESTION FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

9) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined based on the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and—where applicable—additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g., commercial and tax-related retention periods).

When processing personal data based on an explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you withdraw your consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed in the context of contractual or quasi-contractual obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, such data will be routinely deleted after the expiration of these retention periods, provided they are no longer required for contract performance or contract initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in further retention.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, such data will be retained until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, such data will be retained until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Unless otherwise specified by the other information in this statement regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
