Google signals

We use Google signals. When you visit our website, Google Analytics collects, among other things your location, search history and YouTube history as well as demographic data (visitor data). This data can be used for personalised advertising with the help of Google Signal. If you have a Google account, the visitor data from Google Signal will be linked to your Google account and used for personalised advertising messages. The data is also used to compile anonymised statistics on the user behaviour of our users.

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Analytics e-commerce measurement

This website uses the „e-commerce measurement“ function of Google Analytics. With the help of e-commerce measurement, the website operator can analyse the purchasing behaviour of website visitors to improve its online marketing campaigns. Information such as orders placed, average order values, shipping costs and the time from viewing to purchasing a product is recorded. This data can be summarised by Google under a transaction ID that is assigned to the respective user or their device.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme of Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted adverts can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by analysing, for example, which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Art. 25 para. 1 GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. More information: https://business.safety.google/privacy/

This website uses Google Ads Remarketing.

In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one end device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or smartphone).

If you have a Google account, you can object to personalised advertising by clicking on the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

We use Google Ads Remarketing customer matching, among other things, to form target groups. Here we transfer certain customer data (e.g. email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the customers in question are Google users and are logged into their Google account, they are shown suitable advertising messages within the Google network (e.g. on YouTube, Gmail or in the search engine).

Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With the help of Google conversion tracking, Google and we can recognise whether the user has carried out certain actions.

7. newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remain unaffected.

Email dispatch via Optimizely

Newsletter

With the following information, we will be informing you about the content of our newsletter as well as the sign up process, distribution process, statistical analysis process, and your right to objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to reception and the aforementioned processes.

Content of the newsletter

We only send newsletters and e-mails with advertising information (hereafter “newsletter“) with the consent of the recipient or with legal permission. Insofar as the content of a newsletter is concretely described in the context of an application for the newsletter, these are decisive for the consent of the user. Besides that, our newsletters contain information about our products, offers, deals, and company.

Double opt-in and logging

Signing up for our newsletter occurs via a so-called “Double-Opt-In” procedure. This means that once you finish signing up, you will receive an e-mail which prompts you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is mandatory in order to prevent others from signing up with third-party e-mail addresses. Newsletter registrations will be recorded in order to demonstrate the corresponding legal requirements for the registration process. This includes the storage of both the registration and confirmation times, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data that is saved with your service provider will also be recorded.

Sending service provider

The newsletter is sent using Episerver Gmbh (Optimizly), an e-mail marketing software of the provider Episerver GmbH, Wallstraße 16, 10179 Berlin. You can view the data protection provisions of the dispatch service provider here: https://www.optimizely.com/legal/privacy-policy/.

Furthermore, according to its own information, Episerver may use this data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assigning it to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, Episerver (Optimizly) does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them on its own or to pass it on to third parties.

Registration data

In order to sign up for the newsletter, you only have to provide us with your e-mail address. You also have the option to provide your first and last name as well as your preferred title. These entries will solely be used for the personalisation of your newsletter, in which we adjust the content of the newsletter to fit the interests of the reader.

Success measurement

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the dispatch service provider Episerver (Optimizly) when the newsletter is opened. In the course of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services on the basis of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. Statistical compilation also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of the dispatch service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

The dispatch of the newsletter and the measurement of its success are based on the consent of the recipients according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 No. 3 UWG (Act Against Unfair Competition) or on the basis of the legal permission according to § 7 para. 3 UWG.

The logging of the registration process takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves as proof of consent to receive the newsletter.

Online call and data management

There are cases in which we direct the newsletter recipients to the websites of the dispatch service provider. For example, our newsletters contain a link that newsletter recipients can use to access the newsletters online (for example, in the event of display problems in the e-mail). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct or add to their data, such as that of their e-mail address. Likewise, the data protection policy of the dispatch service provider can only be accessed on their website. In this context, we would like to point out that cookies are used on the websites of Episerver (Optimizly) and that personal data is thus processed by the dispatch service provider, their partners and the service providers used (Google Analytics, for example). We have no influence over this data collection. Further information can be found in the privacy policy of Episerver (Optimizly). We would also like to draw your attention to the options for objecting to the collection of data for advertising purposes on the websites http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European area).

Cancellation/revocation

You can, at any time, cancel your subscription i.e. withdrawal your consent. A link to newsletter cancellation can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. After completing cancellation, all of your data, excluding your e-mail address, will be deleted. Your e-mail address will be specifically saved to a blocking list and will only be used for the sole purpose of making sure that we no longer send e-mails to your e-mail address.

Conclusion of a contract for commissioned data processing

We have entered into a contract with Episerver (Optimizely) for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Episerver (Optimizely).

How we handle applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact details, e-mail address, telephone number, email address, etc.).(e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and, if you have given your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Art. 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the option of being included in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and information from your application will be included in the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

Admission to the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Giving your consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal reasons for storage.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.
