The processing of this personal data is justified in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) DSGVO. The company has a legitimate interest in data processing for the purpose of
- building up the connection to the company's website quickly, - enabling user-friendly application of the website, - recognizing and ensuring the security and stability of the systems and - facilitating and improving the administration of the website.
The processing is carried out explicitly not for the purpose of gaining knowledge about the person of the visitor to the website.

All further information can be provided voluntarily by the inquiring person. By sending the message via the contact form, the visitor agrees to the processing of the transmitted personal data. Data processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of processing and responding to inquiries via the contact form. This is based on the voluntary consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) DSGVO.
3. Passing on data
Personal data will be passed on to third parties if
- the person concerned has expressly consented to this in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) DSGVO, - the transfer is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) DSGVO for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that the person concerned has an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing their data, - there is a legal obligation for data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter c) DSGVO, and/or - this is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter b) DSGVO for the fulfillment of a contractual relationship with the person concerned.
In other cases, personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
4. Cookies
So-called cookies are used on the website. These are data packets that are exchanged between the server of the website and the visitor's browser. These are stored on the devices used (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when visiting the website. Cookies cannot cause any damage to the devices used. In particular, they do not contain viruses or other malware. The cookies store information that arises in connection with the specifically used end device. The company can not gain direct knowledge of the identity of the visitor to the website. Cookies are largely accepted by browsers according to their basic settings.
5. Your rights as a data subject
Insofar as your personal data is processed when visiting our website, you as the "data subject" within the meaning of the DSGVO have the following rights:
5.1 Information
You can request information from us as to whether personal data is processed by us. There is no right to information if the provision of the desired information would violate the confidentiality obligation in accordance with § 57 StBerG or if the information must be kept secret for other reasons, in particular because of an overriding legitimate interest of a third party. This deviates from this if your interests in the information outweigh the interest in secrecy, in particular if you are likely to be disadvantaged by a violation of the data protection provisions or if an imminent danger to your life, body or health exists. The right to information is also excluded if the data is only stored because it cannot be deleted due to legal or statutory retention periods or is only used for data protection control purposes, provided that the provision of information would require a disproportionate effort and if processing for other purposes is excluded by suitable technical and organizational measures.
If the right to information is not excluded and we process personal data about you, you can request information from us about the following information:
- purposes of processing, - categories of personal data processed by you, - recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data is disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries, - if possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage duration, - the existence of a right to correction or deletion or restriction of processing of the personal data concerning you or a right of objection to such processing, - the existence of a right of appeal to a data protection supervisory authority, - if the personal data was not collected from you as the data subject, all available information about the origin of the data, - if applicable, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing.
5.2 Correction and completion
If you find that we have incorrect personal data about you, you can request that we correct this incorrect data immediately. If your personal data is incomplete, you can request that it be completed.
5.3 Deletion
You have a right to deletion ("right to be forgotten"), provided that the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and one of the following reasons applies:
- The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was processed. - The justification for the processing was exclusively your consent, which you have revoked. - You have objected to the processing of your personal data, which we have made public. - You have objected to the processing of your personal data, which we have not made public, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing. - Your personal data has been processed unlawfully. - The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject.
There is no entitlement to deletion if, in the case of lawful non-automated data processing, deletion is not possible due to the special nature of the storage or would only be possible with disproportionately high effort and your interest in deletion is low. In this case, the deletion is replaced by the restriction of processing.
5.4 Restriction of processing
You can request that we restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:
- You dispute the accuracy of the personal data. The restriction can be requested for the period that enables us to verify the accuracy of the data. - The processing is unlawful and you request restriction of use instead of deletion. - We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. - You have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 DSGVO. The restriction of processing can be requested as long as it has not been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.
Restriction of processing means that the personal data will only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest. Before we lift the restriction, we are obliged to inform you about this.
5.5 Data portability
You have a right to data portability, provided that the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) or Art. 9 Para. 2 Letter a) DSGVO) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing is carried out using automated procedures. The right to data portability includes the following rights, provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons:
You can request that we provide you with the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You have the right to transfer this data to another person responsible without hindrance on our part. Insofar as this is technically feasible, you can request that we transfer your personal data directly to another person responsible.
5.6 Objection
If the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter e) DSGVO (performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority) or on Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) DSGVO (legitimate interest of the person responsible or a third party), 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 Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter e) or Letter f) DSGVO.
After exercising the right to object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. You can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is connected with direct marketing. After exercising this right of objection, we will no longer use the relevant personal data for direct marketing purposes.
You have the option to inform us of your objection by telephone, e-mail, fax or to our postal address stated at the beginning of this data protection declaration.
5.7 Revocation of consent
You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent can be declared to us by telephone, e-mail, fax or to our postal address. The lawfulness of the data processing that took place on the basis of the consent until receipt of the revocation is not affected by the revocation. After receipt of the revocation, the data processing that was based solely on your consent will be discontinued.
5.8 Complaint
If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority that is responsible for your place of residence or workplace or for the place of the suspected infringement.
6. Applications
On our pages under "Career" you will find the necessary information to apply for open positions with us. You have the opportunity to apply to us by e-mail or telephone. For the processing of your application, we collect the following data: first and last name, contact details, application documents or data (e.g. curriculum vitae, certificates). We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO and § 26 Para. 1 BDSG-neu. Any further processing only takes place if you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO in conjunction with Art. 7 DSGVO. With your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO, we can also store your application for future job vacancies for a predetermined period of time. In the event of revocation, your application can no longer be considered for the application process. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO and § 26 Para. 1 BDSG in the personnel file. In this case, your application documents will only be deleted and destroyed after the end of the employment relationship and after a further three years have passed since the end of the year in which the employment relationship was terminated. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the person responsible for processing oppose deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).
7. Legal basis of processing
Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on consent, Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO in conjunction with § 25 Para. 1 TDDSG applies as the legal basis.
8. Storage and deletion period
The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in processing in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 DSGVO. Unless otherwise stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored with us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be stored for commercial or tax law reasons.
9. Status and update of this data protection declaration
This data protection declaration is dated March 12, 2026. We reserve the right to update the data protection declaration at any time to improve data protection and/or adapt it to changed official practice or case law.
