The responsible controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent already given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, for yourself or a third party, in a common, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If, after conclusion of a paid contract, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser line.
With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, restriction, deletion, and correction
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, where applicable, a right to correction, restriction, or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions on personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address stated in the legal notice.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address stated in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted processing of your personal data, this data may - apart from storage - only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
Objection to promotional emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of legal notice obligations for sending unsolicited advertising and informational material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
3. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE
Cookies
Some internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies required for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you request (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysis of your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
Collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website - for this purpose, server log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.
Processing of data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Data entered by you in the contact form remains with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after completed processing of your inquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
Inquiry by email, phone, or fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.
Processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to performance of a contract or required for implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in effective processing of inquiries addressed to us.
Data sent by you to us via contact inquiries remains with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after completed processing of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
Registration on this website
You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for use of the respective offer or service for which you have registered. Required information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject registration.
For important changes, for example regarding scope of offers or technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you.
Processing of data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent given by you at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing already carried out remains unaffected by withdrawal.
Data collected during registration is stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and then deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Processing of data (customer and contract data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as this is necessary for establishing, structuring content of, or changing the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits processing of data for fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data about use of our internet pages (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it.
The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Data transfer upon conclusion of contract for online shops, retailers, and shipping
We transfer personal data to third parties only if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example to companies entrusted with delivery of goods or the credit institution commissioned with payment processing. Further transfer of data does not take place, or only if you have expressly consented to transfer. Your data is not passed on to third parties without explicit consent, for example for advertising purposes.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits processing of data for fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
4. ANALYTICS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. Provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files stored on your computer that allow analysis of website use by you. Information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Storage of Google Analytics cookies and use of this analytics tool are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offer and its advertising.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide further services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Browser plugin
You can prevent storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Objection to data collection
You can prevent collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents collection of your data on future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.
More information on handling user data in Google Analytics can be found in Google's privacy policy: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.
Order processing
We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google and fully implement strict requirements of European data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created containing statements about age, gender, and interests of page visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and from visitor data of third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown under "Objection to data collection".
Storage period
Data stored by Google on user and event level linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID), or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. Details can be found here: support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196
Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Within Google AdWords we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across websites of AdWords customers. Information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that can personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in conversion tracking statistics.
Storage of "conversion cookies" and use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysis of user behavior to optimize both its web offer and its advertising.
More information about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking can be found in Google's privacy policies: policies.google.com/privacy.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit functionality of this website.

CleverReach
This website uses CleverReach for sending newsletters. Provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service with which newsletter dispatch can be organized and analyzed. Data you enter for newsletter subscription (e.g. email address) is stored on CleverReach servers in Germany and/or Ireland.
Our newsletters sent with CleverReach allow us to analyze behavior of newsletter recipients.

Further information on data analysis by CleverReach newsletters can be found at: www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by withdrawal.
If you do not want analysis by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe directly on the website.
Data stored by you for purpose of newsletter subscription remains with us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and is deleted from both our servers and CleverReach servers after newsletter cancellation. Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected.

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, by post, or via online application form). Below we inform you about scope, purpose, and use of personal data collected from you in the application process. We assure you that collection, processing, and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data is treated as strictly confidential.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary for decision on establishment of an employment relationship. Legal basis is Section 26 BDSG-new under European law (initiation of employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and - if you have given consent - Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Your personal data is passed on within our company only to persons involved in processing your application.
If application is successful, data submitted by you is stored in our data processing systems on basis of Section 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for purpose of carrying out employment relationship.
Storage duration of data
If we cannot make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, withdraw your application, withdraw your consent to data processing, or request deletion of data, data transmitted by you including any remaining physical application documents will be stored/retained for maximum 6 months after completion of application procedure (retention period) in order to be able to trace details of application process in event of inconsistencies (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
YOU MAY OBJECT TO THIS STORAGE IF YOU HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS THAT OUTWEIGH OUR INTERESTS.
After expiry of retention period, data will be deleted unless there is a statutory retention obligation or another legal reason for further storage. If it is apparent that retention of your data after expiry of retention period will be necessary (e.g. due to impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when data has become irrelevant. Other statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
