When using this website, personal data may be processed. The term "personal data" under data protection law refers to all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person. The IP address can also be such a personal data. An IP address is assigned to every device connected to the Internet by the Internet provider so that it can send and receive data. When you use the website, we collect information that you provide yourself. In addition, during your visit to the website, we automatically collect certain information about your use of the website. We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, in particular the GDPR and the BDSG. Data processing by us only takes place on the basis of a legal permission. When using this website, we process personal data only with your consent (Section 25 (1) TTDSG or Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1 Bay Letter a GDPR), for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or at your request for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1 Bay Letter b GDPR), for the fulfillment of a legal obligation (Art. 6(1), first sentence, point (c) of the GDPR) or if the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, override (Art. 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR).

Unless otherwise stated in the following notes, we store the data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the processing purpose or to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations. Such statutory retention obligations may arise in particular from commercial or tax law regulations. From the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected, we will retain such personal data contained in our accounting records for ten years and retain personal data contained in commercial letters and contracts for six years. In addition, we will retain data in connection with consents requiring proof as well as with complaints and claims for the duration of the statutory limitation periods. We will delete data stored for advertising purposes if you object to processing for this purpose.

We use order processors as part of the processing of your data. Processing operations carried out by such processors include, for example, hosting, maintenance and support of IT systems, customer and order management, accounting and billing or file and data carrier destruction. A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller. Processors do not use the data for their own purposes, but carry out data processing exclusively for the controller and are contractually obligated to ensure appropriate technical and organizational measures for data protection. In addition, we may transmit your personal data to bodies such as postal and delivery services, house bank, tax consultancy/auditing company or the financial administration. For the purpose of infection control, data may be transferred to the responsible public health department. Further recipients may result from the following information.

Our data processing operations may involve the transfer of certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries where the GDPR is not applicable law. Such a transfer takes place in a permissible manner if the European Commission has determined that an adequate level of data protection is required in such a third country. If such an adequacy decision by the European Commission does not exist, a transfer of personal data to a third country will only take place if appropriate safeguards exist pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR or if one of the conditions of Art. 49 GDPR is met.

Unless otherwise stated below, we use the EU standard data protection clauses as appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data in third countries. You have the possibility to receive a copy of these EU standard data protection clauses or to inspect them. To do so, please contact us at the address given under Contact.

If you consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the transfer will take place on the legal basis of Article 49 (1) a GDPR.

If you exercise your rights under Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, we will process the personal data provided for the purpose of implementing these rights by us and to be able to provide evidence thereof. We will only process data stored for the purpose of providing information and preparing it for this purpose and for data protection control purposes and otherwise restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.
These processing operations are based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with. Art. 15 to 22 GDPR and Section 34 (2) BDSG.

As a data subject, you have the right to assert your data subject rights against us. In particular, you have the following rights:

• If you believe that a processing of personal data concerning you violates the provisions of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.

In accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, you have the right to object to processing based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation.

The processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interests and is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.

All employees entrusted with data processing are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of your data. If we are unable to offer you employment, we will retain the data you have provided for up to six months after any rejection for the purpose of answering questions relating to your application and rejection. This does not apply if legal provisions prevent deletion, if further storage is necessary for the purpose of providing evidence, or if you have expressly consented to longer storage.

The legal basis for data processing is 26 para. 1 p. 1 BDSG.

If we retain your applicant data for longer than six months and you have expressly consented to this, we would like to point out that this consent can be freely revoked at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.
