Personal data
Personal data is information about your person. This includes your name, address, and email address. You do not have to disclose any personal data to visit our website. In some cases, we need your name and address as well as further information to offer you the desired service.
The same applies if we supply you with information material at your request or when we answer your inquiries. In these cases, we will always point this out to you. Furthermore, we only store the data that you have automatically or voluntarily transmitted to us.
When you use one of our services, we typically only collect the data necessary to provide you with our service. We may ask you for further information, but this is voluntary. Whenever we process personal data, we do so to provide you with our service or to pursue our commercial goals.
Automatically stored non-personal data
When you visit our website, we store certain information for administrative and technical reasons. These are: type and version of the browser used, date and time of access, as well as the IP address.
This data is anonymized and used solely for statistical purposes or to improve our internet and online services.
This anonymized data is stored on secure systems – separate from personal data – and cannot be associated with specific individuals. This means that your personal data remains protected at all times.
Cookies
When you visit our website, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Cookies are small files that are transferred from an internet server to your browser and stored on its hard drive. Only the Internet Protocol address is stored here – no personal data. This information stored in the cookies allows us to automatically recognize you on your next visit to our website, which facilitates your use.
Of course, you can also visit our website without accepting cookies. If you don’t want your computer to be recognized on your next visit, you can also refuse the use of cookies by changing your browser settings to “reject cookies”. You can find the respective procedure in the manual of your browser. However, if you refuse the use of cookies, there may be restrictions in the use of some areas of our website.
Google Analytics with anonymization function
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”, on our website. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website.
The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, place, and frequency of your website visit, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored there.
We use Google Analytics on our website with the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp”. In this case, your IP address will be shortened and anonymized by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our site, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
According to Google, your IP address will not be associated with other data held by Google under any circumstances. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.
Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation add-on for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over what data Google collects on the websites you visit. The add-on informs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be sent to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics deactivation add-on does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services we may use. For more information on installing the browser add-on, please visit the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
If you visit our site via a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), you must delete the opt-out cookie, and then click the link again.
If you have consented to your web and app browsing history being linked to your Google account and information from your Google account being used to personalize ads, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create cross-device remarketing target lists. For this purpose, Google Analytics will first collect your Google-authenticated ID on our website, which is linked to your Google account (i.e., personal data). Google Analytics will then temporarily link your ID with your Google Analytics data to optimize our target audiences.
If you do not agree with this, you can disable it through the appropriate settings in the “My Account” section of your Google account.

Newsletter
For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e., we will only send you a newsletter by email after you have expressly confirmed to us that we should activate the newsletter service. We will then send you a notification email and ask you to confirm that you wish to receive our newsletter by clicking on a link contained in this email. When you register for our newsletter, we store your IP address and the date of registration. This storage serves solely as proof in case a third party misuses your email address to register you for the newsletter without your knowledge or authorization.
If you no longer wish to receive newsletters from us in the future, you can object to this at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A notification in text form to us (e.g., email, fax, letter) is sufficient for this purpose. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every newsletter.

Your application data will be collected and processed electronically by us for the purpose of handling the application process. If your application results in the conclusion of an employment contract, your transmitted data may be stored in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organizational and administrative process in compliance with the relevant legal regulations.
The deletion of the data you have transmitted will take place automatically two months after notification of rejection if your job application is rejected. This does not apply if longer storage is necessary due to legal requirements (for example, the burden of proof under the General Equal Treatment Act) or if you have expressly agreed to longer storage in our database of interested parties.
