Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the person concerned, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Many data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (E) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection under Article 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will then no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Article 21 (2) GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice for this and for further questions on the subject of personal data.
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

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 relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can recognize whether the user has carried out certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently.

This website uses Google Maps to display interactive maps and to create route descriptions. Google Maps is a map service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address entered as part of the route planner function, can be transmitted to Google in the USA. When you visit a page on our website that contains Google Maps, your browser creates a direct connection to Google's servers. Google transmits the map content directly to your browser and integrates it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data collected by Google in this way. To the best of our knowledge, this is at least the following data:
We have no influence on the further processing and use of data by Google and can therefore assume no responsibility for this.
If you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about you via our website, you can deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, however, you cannot use the map display.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google as well as your related rights and settings options to protect your privacy can be found in Google's privacy policy.
By using our website, you consent to the processing of the data collected about you by Google Maps Route Planner in the manner described above and for the purposes set out above.
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The data entered in the newsletter subscription form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use to send the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, we or the newsletter service provider may store your e-mail address in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
This website includes videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily preclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. This is how YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you are watching a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
In addition, after you start a video, YouTube can save various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve usability, and prevent fraud attempts.
After the start of a YouTube video, further data processing processes may be triggered over which we have no influence.
YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
For more information about YouTube's privacy policy, please see their privacy policy at: policies.google.com/privacy.
This site uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, to uniformly display fonts. Google fonts are installed locally. There is no connection to Google servers.
You can find more information about Google Web Fonts at developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
In the following, we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal regulations and that your data will be kept strictly confidential.
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via the online application form or by e-mail. If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-neu under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and — if you have given consent — Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with people who are involved in processing your application.
To organize and process incoming applications, we use the applicant management software from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. The software is connected to our website as a portal via an API interface. We use them on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 lit. f DSGVO) in efficiently designing our recruiting process. The basis for the cooperation is an order processing contract (in accordance with Art 28 GDPR), according to which Microsoft may not process the data for its own purposes, but only in accordance with our instructions. For more information about data protection at Microsoft, please here.
As part of our search for suitable candidates, we also research professional platforms (such as LinkedIn or XING) and use the personal data published there by potential candidates to check whether the person is a good fit for us and to contact us if necessary. This data is processed in our applicant management software. The basis for the research is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 lit. f DSGVO) in filling positions with suitable persons.
When you visit our career pages and fill out the application form, personal access data is automatically collected. This includes the type of device you use, the web browser, the operating system, the IP address, the website from which you came (e.g. from a job board) and your behavior on our pages (e.g. time spent on our pages). The use of tracking technologies is based on our legitimate interest in continuously measuring the success and optimization of our recruiting process (in accordance with Art. 6 1 lit f GDPR).
We reserve the right to store the data you have provided with us on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted; if physical documents are available, they are destroyed. In particular, storage serves as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has elapsed (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), it will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given appropriate consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal storage obligations preclude deletion.
If, in the course of the application process, together with you, we come to the conclusion that the establishment of an employment relationship is not being sought at this stage, but should be re-evaluated in the medium term, it is possible to include you in the talent pool of our applicant management system. For this purpose, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the database so that we can contact you again in the future in case of suitable vacancies or other information of interest to you.
Admission to the talent pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). The submission of consent is voluntary and has no connection with the ongoing application process. You can withdraw your consent at any time. In this case, your data will be irrevocably deleted, provided that there are no legal reasons for storage.
In addition to applying via our online application form or by e-mail, you also have the option of applying to us via your account on the LinkedIn career platform or on the Indeed job board, among others. This can be done by applying directly to linkedin.com or indeed.com for the job ads we have posted there. If you apply via one of the methods described, your personal usage data (profile information, curriculum vitae or other documents that you have provided to providers on a voluntary basis) will be processed and forwarded to us by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland or Indeed Ireland Operations Limited, 124 St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, Ireland. Even if you do not use these functions, LinkedIn and indeed process personal data, as your IP address is already transmitted to LinkedIn when the button is displayed. LinkedIn or indeed may also use cookies.
Here you can find the privacy statements of all our providers:
The use of the application option via the named providers is based on our legitimate interests in the performance and efficiency of our recruiting process and the applicants' interest in carrying out a quick and efficient application process (within the meaning of Art. 6, paragraph 1 GDPR).
