Use of cookies:
This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:
Transient cookies (see b)
Persistent cookies (see c).
Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, which allows various requests from your browser to be assigned to the same session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete these cookies at any time via your browser’s security settings.
We use cookies that are technically necessary and which make your visit to our website possible in the first place. Should we also use cookies that are not technically necessary, we will seek your consent for this.
Where we use cookies that are technically essential for the display and necessary functions of our website, the legal basis is Section 25(2) of the TDDDG and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest).
Where we do not use technically essential cookies for the display and necessary functions of our website, we will seek your consent. The legal basis for the use of these cookies is Section 25(1), first sentence, of the TDDDG and Article 6(1), first sentence, point (a) of the GDPR.
You can give any necessary consents via our Consent Manager when you first visit our site and subsequently manage them at any time by clicking on the cookie icon at the bottom left.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a notification always appears before a new cookie is created. Please note, however, that completely disabling cookies may mean that you are unable to use all the features of our website.
You can find a list of all cookies used, a description of the legally required information regarding each cookie, and the option to give or withdraw your consent here:
Data Security
The personal data we collect and store is treated confidentially and protected against loss, alteration and unauthorised access by third parties through appropriate technical and organisational measures. Your personal data is transmitted over the internet in encrypted form. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for data transmission.
Automated decision-making, profiling
We do not carry out any automated decision-making (including profiling) using the personal data we collect when you visit our website.
Your rights
You have the following rights in relation to the personal data concerning you:
- Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR),
- Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) or erasure (Art. 17 GDPR),
- Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
- Right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
- Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data (Article 77 of the GDPR).
Legal bases for processing
Where we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data or other information, such processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1), first sentence, of the TDDDG.
Where we seek your consent for the processing of further information, such processing is based on Section 25(1), first sentence, of the TDDDG.
Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
Where the vital interests of natural persons necessitate the processing of personal data, such processing is based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.
Where processing is necessary for reasons of public interest, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR.
Where processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Objection or withdrawal of consent to the processing of your data
If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you may withdraw this consent at any time. Such a withdrawal will affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data from the moment you notify us of it.
Where we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case, in particular, where the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you, as we will explain in each instance in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to set out the reasons why we should not process your personal data in the manner we have been doing. In the event of a justified objection, we will review the circumstances and either cease or adjust the data processing, or explain to you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
You may, of course, object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of advertising and data analysis.
General retention period
Personal data of data subjects will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Your personal data will also be erased or restricted if you make a valid request for erasure or withdraw your consent. In many cases, we are bound by statutory retention periods. Once this maximum retention period has expired, your data will be deleted unless there is a compelling reason not to do so.
Disclosure of data
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:
- you have given your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR,
- the disclosure is necessary, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in preventing the disclosure of your data,
- where there is a legal obligation to disclose the data in accordance with Article 6(1), first sentence, point (c) of the GDPR, and
- where this is permitted by law and necessary under Article 6(1), first sentence, point (b) of the GDPR for the performance of contractual relationships with you.
Further features and services on our website
In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services which you may use if you are interested. To do so, you will generally need to provide further personal data, which we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned principles on data processing apply.
In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.
Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer promotional campaigns, prize draws, the conclusion of contracts or similar services in collaboration with partners. You will receive further information on this when you provide your personal data or in the description of the offer below.
Where our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the implications of this in the description of the offer.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form – including the contact details you enter there – will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), provided that this has been requested.
The data you enter in the contact form will be retained by us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Other data collection forms
Should any further forms be embedded within the website through which we collect data from you, it is generally indicated which data we absolutely require as part of the form and which details you may provide to us on a voluntary basis. As a rule, we use the data provided in these forms exclusively for the clearly identifiable purpose. If either the purpose of the processing is not immediately apparent or if we pursue further purposes beyond the immediately apparent one, you will find a detailed explanation regarding data collection within such a form in a specific privacy notice, which you must confirm by opting in before you can submit the form.
Should the associated processing be based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, this privacy notice is formulated not as information but as a request for consent. In this case, by ticking the opt-in box, you are giving your consent to the processing. You may withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. The storage period ends when the purpose is fulfilled or when you withdraw your consent. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will keep you informed about our latest interesting offers. The legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
When you subscribe to our company’s newsletter, the data entered in the relevant form is transmitted to the data controller. Registration for our newsletter takes place via a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that, after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration.
When you subscribe to the newsletter, the user’s IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This is to prevent misuse of the services or the data subject’s email address. The data is not passed on to third parties. An exception applies where there is a legal obligation to disclose the data. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The data subject may cancel their subscription to the newsletter at any time. Similarly, consent to the storage of personal data may be withdrawn at any time. A link for this purpose is included in every newsletter.
Contact options via email, telephone or fax
You have the option of contacting us by email, telephone or fax. You can find the relevant contact details on our website under ‘Contact’.
If you contact us via the email address we have provided, the personal data transmitted with your email will be stored.
The legal basis for the processing of your data in this respect is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in contacting you as a (potential) customer. If the contact via email is in connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR also forms the legal basis for the processing.
We process personal data that we store in connection with your enquiry solely for the purpose of handling your enquiry. The data is not disclosed to third parties in this regard.
We will delete your data as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data transmitted by email, this occurs when the relevant correspondence with you has ended and it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved. If the data is required to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, deletion may only take place to the extent permitted by contractual or statutory obligations. The applicable retention periods must be determined individually for the respective contracts and contracting parties.
You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you have contacted us by email, you may object to the storage of your personal data at any time. To do so, simply send an informal message to the contact details provided at the beginning of this privacy policy.
Data processing in connection with job applications
If you apply for a job with us, we will process the information we receive from you as part of the application process, e.g. via your application letter, CV, references, correspondence, and information provided by telephone or in person. In addition to your contact details, we are particularly interested in information regarding your education, qualifications, work experience and skills.
Your data will initially be processed solely for the purpose of conducting the application process. If your application is successful, your data will become part of your personnel file and will be used for the purposes of managing and terminating the employment relationship; it will then be deleted in accordance with the regulations applicable to personnel files. If we are unable to offer you employment at this time, we will continue to process your data for up to six months after sending the rejection letter in order to defend ourselves against any potential legal claims, in particular those relating to alleged discrimination during the application process. Where you receive reimbursement of expenses or other tax-related transactions occur, the relevant accounting records will be retained to fulfil our retention obligations under budgetary and tax law, in accordance with the applicable retention periods. Access to your data is initially restricted to our HR department and the specialist department of the role for which you have applied, and, where necessary, the accounts department.
Our administrators and data processors have the technical capability to access data processed via IT systems, as is necessary for technical reasons. They are strictly bound by our instructions and are not permitted to process the data for their own purposes. In certain cases, we may need to disclose your personal data to third parties, such as our bank if you receive a reimbursement, or the postal service if we communicate with you by post.
The legal basis for data processing during the application process and as part of the personnel file is Section 26(1), first sentence, of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and, insofar as you have given your consent – for example, by providing information not required for the application process – Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The legal basis for data processing following a rejection is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legal basis for retention under budgetary and tax law is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR in conjunction with Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO). The legitimate interest in processing on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR is the defence against legal claims.
We do not generally require any special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR for the application process. We ask that you do not provide us with any such information from the outset. If, in exceptional cases, such information is relevant to the application process, we will process it together with your other application data. This may, for example, concern details of a severe disability, which you may provide to us voluntarily and which we must then process in order to fulfil our specific obligations regarding people with severe disabilities. In such cases, the processing serves to exercise rights or fulfil legal obligations arising from labour law, social security law and social protection law. The legal basis for data processing in such cases is Article 9(2)(b) of the GDPR, Sections 26(3) of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Section 164 of Book IX of the Social Code (SGB IX). In exceptional cases, it may be necessary to obtain information about your health or a disability, or information from the Federal Central Register (i.e. regarding criminal convictions), in order to assess your suitability for the intended role. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. Your data is processed by us or on our behalf exclusively in Germany.

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, acting as a technical service provider on our behalf and in accordance with our specifications.

Cookie Consent
When you visit our website, we inform you about the types of cookies we use and give you the option to consent to or refuse individual types of cookies. We will only load non-essential cookies once you have consented to their use.
Our website uses the Klaro cookie consent technology from KIProtect GmbH to obtain your consent, within the meaning of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG, to the storage of certain cookies in your browser and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. This technology is provided by KIProtect GmbH, Bismarckstr. 10–12, 10625 Berlin.
When you visit our website, a Klaro cookie is stored in your browser, which records the consents you have given or any withdrawal of those consents.
The data collected is stored until you request its deletion, delete the Klaro cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by KIProtect GmbH can be found here.
Klaro technology is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1), first sentence, point (c) of the GDPR.
Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via a user interface, thereby enabling other services to be integrated into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) therefore does not, for example, create user profiles or store cookies. Google only receives the user’s IP address, which is necessary to run Google Tag Manager. The legal basis for data processing is your consent within the meaning of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. In cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Further information on Google Tag Manager is available at on the website; Privacy Policy; types of processing and the data processed; data processing terms for Google advertising products; and standard contractual clauses for data transfers to third countries.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (for Europe: Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland – “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that, in this case, you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the available browser plug-in.
This website uses Google Analytics with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension. This ensures that IP addresses are processed in truncated form, thereby ruling out any possibility of personal identification. Where the data collected about you is personally identifiable, such identification is therefore immediately ruled out and the personal data is deleted without delay.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent within the meaning of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Further information on Google Analytics is available here and via Google Support, as well as on data protection at Google in general. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website.
In cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has committed to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Data processing by social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social media platforms. The specific social media platforms we use are listed below.
Social networks such as Facebook etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour in detail when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. ‘Like’ buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media pages triggers numerous data processing operations relevant to data protection. Specifically:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal may associate this visit with your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the relevant social media portal. In this case, data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media platforms can create user profiles that record your preferences and interests. In this way, interest-based advertising may be displayed to you both on and off the respective social media platform. If you have an account with the relevant social network, interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in.
Please also note that we are not able to track all data processing activities on social media platforms. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media platforms. For further details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
Legal basis
Our social media presence is intended to ensure as comprehensive an online presence as possible. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).
Data controller and exercising rights
If you visit one of our social media pages (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered by that visit. You may, in principle, exercise your rights (right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and the right to lodge a complaint) both against us and against the operator of the relevant social media platform (e.g. Facebook).
Please note that, despite our joint responsibility with the social media platform operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations carried out by the social media platforms. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Retention period
Data collected directly by us via our social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, you request its deletion, you withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence over the retention period of your data stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For further details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
