We collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide the functionality of our website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user.
An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
The legal basis for processing personal data with the prior consent of the data subject is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO is the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. The legal basis for the processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and these interests outweigh the interest of the data subject, taking into account the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO is the legal basis for the processing of the data.
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, data may be stored if we are required to do so by law in order to process the data. In this case, the data will be blocked or deleted when the legally prescribed storage period expires, unless it is necessary for the further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
Data processing through the use of our website
When you access our website, the browser used on your terminal device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information will be collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion: IP address of the requesting computer, date and time of access, name and URL of the retrieved file, website from which the access is made (referrer URL), browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider.
The above data is processed by us for the purposes of ensuring a smooth connection to the website, ensuring convenient use of our website, evaluating system security and stability and for other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our justified interest follows from the purposes listed above for the collection of data. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.
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 contact form, along with the IP address, date, and time, is transmitted to us and stored. Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data as part of the sending process and reference is made to this privacy policy. The legal basis for the processing of the data in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.
It is also possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The legal basis for the processing of these data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO on the basis of your voluntary consent. The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted after the completion of your request.
We offer you the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter on our website. With this newsletter we inform you about our offers at regular intervals. In order to receive our newsletter, you need a valid e-mail address. We will check the e-mail address you enter to ensure that you are actually the owner of the e-mail address provided or that the owner is authorized to receive the newsletter.
When you register for our newsletter, we will save your IP address and the date and time of your registration. This serves as a safeguard on our part in the event that a third party misuses your e-mail address and subscribes to our newsletter without your knowledge. We do not collect any other data. The data collected in this way is used exclusively for the subscription to our newsletter. It will not be passed on to third parties. The data collected in this way is also not compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website. You can cancel your subscription to this newsletter at any time. Details can be found in the confirmation email and in each individual newsletter.
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. We always interpret unsubscribing from our newsletter as a revocation.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if you have given your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO, the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data, in the event that the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO is not possible. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO, as well as this is legally permissible and required pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO for the execution of contractual relationships with you.
We use cookies to operate our website in order to make it more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.
Cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific information related to the device on the user’s access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they serve the user-friendliness of websites and thus the users (e.g. storage of login data). On the other hand, they serve to collect the statistical data of the website use and to be able to analyse them in order to improve the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option that restricts or completely prevents cookies from being saved. However, it is pointed out that the use and in particular the comfort of use are restricted without cookies.
The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data are not stored together with other personal data of the users.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent.
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. For these it is necessary that the browser is recognized also after a page change.
The analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.
In these purposes also our legitimate interest lies in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
Third-party services
The person responsible for the processing has integrated contents, services and performances of other providers on the website. These include, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube and graphics and images from other websites. In order for this data to be called up and displayed in the user’s browser, the transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary. The providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) thus perceive the IP address of the respective user.
Even if we make every effort to use only third party providers who only need the IP address to deliver content, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. In this case, this process serves statistical purposes, among others. If we are aware that the IP address is being stored, we will inform our users accordingly.
The data controller has integrated Facebook components on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an Internet-based social meeting place, an online community that usually enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the data controller for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found HERE. As part of this technical process, Facebook obtains information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the person concerned.
If the person concerned is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific page of our website the person concerned is visiting each time the person visits our website and for the entire duration of that person’s stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the person concerned. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, such as the “Like” button, or if the data subject comments, Facebook assigns this information to the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Facebook receives information through the Facebook component that the individual concerned has visited our website whenever the individual concerned is logged into Facebook at the same time as accessing our website, regardless of whether the individual concerned clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the person concerned does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook in this way, they can prevent it from being transmitted by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.
Facebook’s published data policy, which is available HERE, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the person concerned. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook, such as the Facebook blocker from the provider Webgraph, which can be obtained HERE. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
The data controller has integrated components of Twitter on this website. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service where users can publish and disseminate short messages, known as tweets, limited to 280 characters. These short messages are accessible to everyone, including individuals not registered with Twitter. However, tweets are also displayed to the followers of the respective user.

The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Every time an individual accesses one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the data controller and where a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the affected person’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component to download a representation of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information about Twitter buttons can be found HERE. In the context of this technical process, Twitter gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the affected person. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to share the content of this website, make this website known in the digital world, and increase our visitor numbers.
If the affected person is concerned logged in to Twitter, Twitter recognizes, with each visit to our website by the affected person and throughout the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific subpage of our website the affected person is visiting.

If the affected person does not want such transmission of information to Twitter, they can prevent it by logging out of their Twitter account before accessing our website.
The applicable privacy policies of Twitter can be found HERE.
The data controller has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and establish new business connections. With over 400 million registered users in more than 200 countries, LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For data protection matters outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
With each individual access to our website equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn Plugin), this component prompts the browser used by the affected person to download a corresponding representation of the LinkedIn component. Further information about LinkedIn plugins can be accessed HERE. In the context of this technical process, LinkedIn becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the affected person.
If the affected person is simultaneously logged into LinkedIn, LinkedIn recognizes, with each visit to our website by the affected person and throughout the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific subpage of our website the affected person is visiting. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the affected person. If the affected person clicks on a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the affected person and stores this personal data.

The data controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform that enables users to share photos and videos and also to disseminate such data on other social networks.
The operating company of Instagram’s services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this Internet site is called, operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding Instagram component. As part of this technical process, Instagram obtains knowledge of which specific page of our website is visited by the person concerned.
If the person concerned is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes which specific page the person concerned is visiting each time the person visits our website and for the entire duration of that person’s stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and mapped by Instagram to the Instagram account of the person concerned. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated into our website, the data and information transmitted will be assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram receives information from the Instagram component that the person concerned has visited our site whenever they are logged into Instagram at the same time as they visit our site, regardless of whether or not they click on the Instagram component.

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to Internet sites. A web analysis service collects data on, among other things, from which website a person concerned has accessed a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a subpage has been viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for the web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition is used by Google to shorten and anonymise the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned if access to our Internet pages is from a Member State of the European Union or from another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission statements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal information collected through the technical process with third parties.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, it is possible for the person concerned to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. For this purpose, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on under the link HERE. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If the data subject’s information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or by another person within his/her sphere of control, the browser add-on can be reinstalled or reactivated.
Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found HERE and HERE. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link: HERE.
The person responsible for the processing has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to serve ads both in Google’s search engine results and on the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define keywords that will be used to display an ad in Google’s search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to relevant Internet sites using an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the keywords defined beforehand.
The company operating the Google AdWords services is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying advertisements of interest on the websites of third parties and in the search results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertisements on our website.
If a person concerned reaches our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the information technology system of the person concerned by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and does not serve to identify the person concerned. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a person who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated a turnover, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive any information from Google that could identify the individual concerned.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the Internet pages visited by the person concerned. Accordingly, each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal information collected through the technical process with third parties.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the person concerned has the opportunity to object to the interest-related advertising by Google. To do this, the person concerned must access the link HERE from any of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

External fonts, Google Fonts, are used on these Internet pages. Google Fonts is a service of Google Inc. (“Google”). The integration of these Web Fonts takes place by a server call, usually a server of Google in the USA. This will tell the server which of our Internet pages you have visited. The IP address of the browser of the terminal device of the visitor to these Internet pages is also stored by Google. For more information, please refer to Google’s privacy policy, which can be found here:
We have integrated components from YouTube on our website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to freely upload video clips, and other users to view, rate, and comment on them for free. YouTube permits the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete films and TV shows, as well as music videos, trailers, or user-generated videos, are accessible via the internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
With each access to one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the data controller and where a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the affected person is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be accessed HERE. In the context of this technical process, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the affected person.
If the affected person is simultaneously logged into YouTube, YouTube recognizes, with the access of a subpage containing a YouTube video, which specific subpage of our website the affected person is visiting. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the affected person.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component when the affected person has visited our website if the affected person is logged into YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the affected person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the affected person does not want such transmission of information to YouTube and Google, they can prevent it by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.
The privacy policies published by YouTube, available HERE, provide information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
We have integrated Google Tag Manager on our website. With the Google Tag Manager, marketers can manage website tags through a single interface. However, the Tag Manager itself, which uses the tags, works without cookies and does not collect any personal data. The Tag Manager simply triggers other tags that may themselves collect data. For these respective third-party providers, corresponding explanations can be found in this data protection declaration. The Google Tag Manager does not use this data. If you have set cookies to be disabled or otherwise enabled cookies, this will be applied to all tracking tags used with the Google Tag Manager, so the tool will not change your cookie settings.
Google may ask your permission to share some product information (such as your account information) with other Google products to enable certain features, such as simplifying the addition of new conversion tracking tags for AdWords. In addition, Google’s developers review product usage information from time to time to further optimize the product. However, Google will never share this type of information with other Google products without your consent.
For more information, please see Google’s Terms of Use HERE and Google’s privacy policy for this product HERE.
We use the “Google Maps” component of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google,” on our website.
With each individual access to the “Google Maps” component, Google sets a cookie to process user settings and data when displaying the page where the “Google Maps” component is integrated. This cookie is usually not deleted by closing the browser but expires after a certain period unless manually deleted by you beforehand.
If you do not agree with the processing of your data, there is the option to deactivate the “Google Maps” service, thereby preventing the transmission of data to Google. To do this, you must disable the JavaScript function in your browser. However, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use “Google Maps” or only use it to a limited extent.
The use of “Google Maps” and the information obtained through “Google Maps” are in accordance with the Google Terms of Service HERE and the additional terms for “Google Maps” HERE.
To protect input forms on our site, we use the “reCAPTCHA” service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google.”
By using this service, it can be determined whether the respective input is of human origin or is done abusively through automated machine processing.
To our knowledge, the referrer URL, IP address, the behavior of website visitors, information about the operating system, browser, and dwell time, cookies, display instructions and scripts, user input behavior, and mouse movements within the “reCAPTCHA” checkbox are transmitted to “Google.”
Google uses the information obtained in this way, among other things, to digitize books and other printed materials, as well as to optimize services such as Google Street View and Google Maps (e.g., house number and street name recognition).
The IP address transmitted as part of “reCAPTCHA” is not merged with other Google data unless you are logged into your Google account when using the “reCAPTCHA” plugin. If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behavior on our website by “Google,” you must log out of “Google” before visiting our site or using the reCAPTCHA plugin.
The information obtained through the “reCAPTCHA” service is in accordance with the Google Terms of Service: HERE.

Data protection for applications and in the application process
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part are opposed to deletion.

(2) in accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO to immediately demand the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us;
(3) to demand the deletion of your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 17 DSGVO, unless processing is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, for fulfilling a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims;
(4) to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO if the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful but you refuse to delete it and we no longer need the data but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have lodged an objection to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO;
(5) in accordance with Art. 20 DSGVO, to receive your personal data which you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request transmission to another responsible person;
(6) pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO to revoke your consent once given to us at any time. The consequence of this is that we may not continue the data processing based on this consent for the future, and
(7) to complain to a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 DSGVO. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace or of our office.
You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller will no longer process the personal data relating to you unless he can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you are processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is connected with such direct advertising.
If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in relation to the use of Information Society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
You have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has any legal effect on you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible,
(2) is authorised by legislation of the Union or of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject and contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or
(3) with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right of the controller to obtain the intervention of a person, to present his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
Data security
We use the most common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. As a rule, this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed representation of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
