1. General Use of the Website
When visiting our website, your browser will automatically transmit certain information to us. This information includes your IP address, the time and date of your request, the access status/HTTP status code, browser, operating system, language and browser version.

We use this data to enable the contents of our website to be retrieved by you and to ensure the stability and safety of our systems. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1 Letter b of the GDPR.

The stated data will be temporarily saved in internal log files for the previously described purposes and to compile statistical information about the use of our website, to develop our website on the basis of our visitors’ user behavior and for the general administration of our website. This data processing is performed to safeguard our legitimate interests on the basis of Art. 6(1) Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR. The information saved in the log files does not allow you to be personally identified and will be completely anonymized after a short period.

2. Contacting Us
If you contact us, e.g., through our contact form, we will only process your personal data to communicate with you. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) Letter b of the GDPR. The data we collect through our contact form will be deleted after the handling of your inquiry is complete, unless we need your inquiry to fulfill other contractual or legal obligations (see Section VII “Storage Duration”).

3. Newsletter
You may subscribe to our newsletter which we will use to regularly inform you about our product and campaign news. You may also unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. The according unsubscribe link is included in every newsletter. Sending a message to the contact details provided above or in the newsletter will also suffice. The legal basis for this processing is your consent under Art. 6(1) Letter a of the GDPR.

Our newsletters use customary market technologies that allow interactions with the newsletters to be measured (e.g., opening the email or activating links). We use this data in pseudonymized form for general statistical assessments and to optimize and further develop our content and customer communication. This is done using small graphics embedded in the newsletters (so-called pixels). Data is only collected pseudonymously and will not be merged with your other personal data. The legal basis for this is our above-stated legitimate interest under Art. 6(1) Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR. Our newsletter is used to share contents relevant to our clients and to better understand what interests our readers. If you do not want your user behavior to be analyzed, you may unsubscribe from our newsletter or permanently disable the display of graphics in your email program. Data on interactions with our newsletters is saved pseudonymously for 30 days and then completely anonymized.

4. Applications
You may use our jobs portal to apply for open positions. The according data is collected for applicant selection purposes and for the potential establishment of an employment relationship. To receive and process your application, we will collect personal data, e.g., your first and last name, email address, application documents (e.g., references, CV), earliest possible date for beginning work and wage expectations. The legal basis for the processing of your applicant data is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1 Letter b and Art. 88(1) of the GDPR in connection with Section 26(1) Sentence 1 of the German Federal Data Protection Act [Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG]. We will save your application for up to six months after the completion of the application process.

5. Use of Own Cookies
Some of our services require so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files saved on your device by your browser. Cookies are not used to execute programs or load viruses onto your computer. The primary purpose of our cookies is to provide an offer tailored to you and to make using our services as time-efficient as possible.

We use cookies to save your preferences on our website, e.g., for language settings or for technically implementing the login function for the password-protected area. This is done to provide comfortable and personalized use of our website. These services are based on the above-stated legitimate interests. The legal basis is Art. 6(1) Letters b & f of the GDPR.

In addition, we also use cookies and comparable technologies (e.g., web beacons) of partners for analysis and marketing purposes. This is described further in the following sections.

6. Use of Cookies and Comparable Technologies for Analysis Purposes
To improve our website, we use cookies and comparable technologies (e.g., web beacons) for statistical assessments and to analyze general user behavior through access data. We also use analysis services to assess use of our various marketing channels. The legal basis for the data processing described in the following section is Art. 6(1) Letter f of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in the needs-based design and continuous optimization of our website. The following list of the technologies used by us also includes notices about options for objecting to our analysis measures through so-called opt-out cookies. Please note that opt-out cookies must be installed again after deleting all cookies from your browser or when using another browser and/or account.

6.1 Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyze and improve our website on the basis of your user behavior. Google may transmit the data collected thereby to a server in the US where it will be assessed and saved. For transmissions of personal data to the US, Google subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield. However, your IP address will be shortened prior to assessing usage statistics so that you cannot be identified. For this, Google Analytics uses the extension “anonymizeIP” on our website to ensure that IP addresses are collected anonymously.

Google will process the information provided by the cookies to assess your use of this website, to compile reports about website activity and to perform additional services related to use of the website and the Internet.

As described above, you may configure your browser to reject cookies. You may also prevent the collection of cookie-generated data on your use of this website (incl. your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on provided by Google or, when accessing our website from a mobile device, activating this opt-out link: Disable Google Analytics. This will prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics on this website (the opt-out cookie will only work on the browser used and only for this domain). If you delete your cookies from this browser, you must activate this link again.

For more information, please see Google’s Privacy Policy .

7. Use of Cookies and Comparable Technologies for Online Advertising
We also use cookies and comparable technologies for advertising purposes. Some of the access data required for use of our website is used for interest-based advertisements. Analyzing and assessing this access data allows us to display personalized advertisements on our website and on other providers’ websites. These are advertisements that correspond to your actual interests and needs.

The legal basis for the data processing described in the following section is Art. 6(1) Letter f of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest in advertising for our products and services in a personalized manner.

These technologies and the respective providers will be explained in the following section.

The collected data especially includes the:

IP address of the device,
Time and date of access,
Cookie identity number,
Device identifier of mobile devices
Technical information about the browser and the operating system.
The collected data is only saved pseudonymously so that persons cannot be identified directly.

The following descriptions of the technologies used by us also include notices and objection options to our analysis and advertising measures through so-called opt-out cookies. Alternatively, you may also object through the relevant settings on the websites Truste or Your Online Choices that offer bundled objection options for various advertisers. Both pages allow several advertisement displays to be disabled at once through opt-out cookies or, alternatively, settings to be configured for each individual provider. Please note that opt-out cookies must be installed again after deleting all cookies from your browser or when using another browser and/or profile.

7.1 Google DoubleClick
Our website uses DoubleClick by Google, a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). DoubleClick uses cookies and similar technologies to display advertisements that are relevant to you.

Google may transmit the data collected thereby to a server in the US where it will be assessed and saved. For transmissions of personal data to the US, Google subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield .

You may disable cookies through according browser settings (as described above). However, doing so may prevent you from fully using every function of this website.

Google will then only display general advertisements not selected on the basis of the data collected on you.

For more information, please see Google’s Privacy Policy .

7.2 Google Adsense
Our website uses the service “AdSense” from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). AdSense is used to display advertisements on our website for which usage data, such as clicks on advertisements and the IP addresses of website visitors, are processed, though IP addresses are shortened to the final two positions. User data is therefore processed pseudonymously. AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies for this. Google may transmit the thereby collected data to a server in the US where it will be assessed and saved. For transmissions of personal data to the US, Google subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield. As described above, you may also configure your browser to reject cookies.
