III. General information on data processing
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We only process our users’ personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data only takes place regularly with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status/HTTP status code
- amount of data transferred in each case
- Website from which the request originates
- browser
- Operating system and its interface
- Language and version of the browser software
We cannot assign this data to specific persons. We do not merge this data with other data sources.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
2. Purpose of data processing
Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The data is also stored to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not analyzed for marketing purposes in this context.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In addition, the data is deleted after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.
4. Possibility of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.
V. Use of cookies
- Description and scope of data processing
In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use this website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk and assigned to the browser you are using and through which certain information flows to us. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer. They are used to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall. This website currently only uses technically necessary cookies, which is why we do not use a consent management tool or cookie banner.
- Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, c and f GDPR.
- Purpose of data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. In addition, we must use cookies in order to comply with our legal obligations and accountability obligations under the GDPR. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles. Any analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. They are only set with the user’s consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
4. Duration of storage, Possibility of objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically.
VI. Contact form and e-mail contact
1. Description and scope of data processing
There is a contact form on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.
Your information about the processing of the data with reference to this privacy policy is documented as part of the sending process.
Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail addresses provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
4. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
The user has the option to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.
VII. Job applications
1. Description and scope of data processing
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us on our website. For this purpose, we use the online application portal HRWorks from HRworks GmbH, Waldkircher Str. 28, 79106 Freiburg. The data you enter will be stored on the HRWorks servers. Your application data will be reviewed by the HR department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications will then be forwarded internally to the department managers responsible for the respective open position. The further process is then coordinated. Within the company, only those persons have access to your data who need it for the proper execution of our application process. The data is processed exclusively in data centers in the Federal Republic of Germany.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is primarily Section 26 BDSG in the version applicable since 25.05.2018. According to this, the processing of data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permitted.
Should the data be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest then lies in the assertion of or defense against claims.
3. Purpose of data processing
We process the data that you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or any other open positions in our company) and to carry out the application process.
4. Duration of storage
Applicants’ data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of rejection.
In the event that you have consented to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after two years.
If you have been accepted for a position as part of the application process, the data will be transferred from the applicant data system to our personnel information system.
- Use of Google CDN
- Scope of the processing of personal data
To make our website faster and more secure, we use Google CDN from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland or Google LLC, Mountain View 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 USA. Google CDN provides a content delivery network, which is a network of servers connected via the Internet. This network only forwards data that is controlled by us as the website operator. The content is therefore not determined by Google CDN, but by us.
Google CDN may collect certain information about the use of our website and process data that is sent by us or for which Google CDN has received corresponding instructions. In most cases, Google CDN receives data derived from browser activity. Log data helps Google CDN to identify new threats, for example.
In cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, this data transfer takes place on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. For more information on the data collected by Google CDN, how Google CDN uses this data and to whom the service passes the data on, see Google Cloud Services Privacy Notice.
- Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the use of Google CDN is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
- Purpose of data processing
The Google CDN servers are distributed all over the world in order to be able to display our website more quickly on visitors’ end devices.
A load balancing system ensures that our website is delivered from the server that can display our website to visitors the fastest. This is particularly helpful for users from abroad. The content of the website is therefore not only delivered by our hosting server.
In addition, Google CDN blocks threats and limits abusive bots and crawlers that waste bandwidth and server resources. Google CDN allows us to significantly reduce our bandwidth usage and cut the average website load time by about half. Overall, the use of Google CDN makes our website significantly more powerful and less susceptible to spam or other attacks.
4. Duration of storage
Google CDN does not store any personal data, such as IP addresses. However, there is information that Google CDN stores indefinitely as part of its permanent logs in order to improve overall performance and identify any security risks.
The data logs are only kept for as long as necessary.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
Since Google CDN only receives data that is controlled and determined by us as the website operator, Google CDN does not offer its own objection and removal options.
However, since Google CDN does not store any personal data, such options are not necessary.
Nevertheless, you can completely prevent the entire collection and processing of your data by Google CDN by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or by integrating a script blocker in your browser.
VIII. Rights of the data subject
If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
1. Right of access
You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.
If such processing is taking place, you can request the following information from the controller:
(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
(2) the categories of personal data that are processed;

(4) the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
(5) the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
(6) the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.
2. Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without delay.
3. Right to restriction of processing
You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:
(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
(4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.
If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to delete
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
(4) The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.

(6) The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.
b) Information to third parties
If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary
(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
(5) for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
5. Right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right of objection
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications.
8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
IX. Changes to this privacy policy
The further development of the Internet and our website may also affect the handling of personal data. We therefore reserve the right to amend this privacy policy in the future within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and, if necessary, to adapt it to changes in data processing. The current version of the data protection declaration is always available under the heading ” Privacy” or “Privacy Policy”.
