Cookies
Our internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the showing of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or show advertising.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions that you have requested (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to evaluation the audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.
The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the cookies in question is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR); the consent can be revoked at any time.

  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • host name of the accessing computer
  • time of the server request
  • IP address
  • This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The operator of the website has an legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and the optimisation of its website – this makes it necessary to collect the server log files.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact data you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of any follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your inquiry including all thus resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you submit to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

5. Treatment of the data of applicants

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g. by e-mail or post). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We make sure that the collection, processing and use of your data is in accordance with the applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data is treated in strict confidence.
Scope and purpose of the data collection
If you send us an application, we process your connected personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken in the context of job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new (German Federal Data Protection Law) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be transferred within our company exclusively to persons involved in your job application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
Retention period for the data
If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Subsequently, the data is deleted, and the physical application documents destroyed. The storage serves in particular for the purpose of evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data is not deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.
The storage can also be longer if you have given a corresponding consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if legal storage obligations oppose the deletion.

6. Handling of data from business partners (customers, interested parties, suppliers)

We collect personal data for the purpose of executing contracts, fulfilling contractual and pre-contractual obligations and for direct marketing. The data collection and data processing is necessary for the performance of the contract and is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The use of personal data for advertising purposes constitutes a legitimate interest of our company (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The data is transferred to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of orders (e.g. complaints). The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its processing. You have the right to object to the use of your data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time. In addition, you are entitled to request information about the data we have stored about you and, if the data is incorrect, to request that it be corrected or, in the case of unauthorized data storage, that it be deleted. Please use the contact details above to exercise your rights.
