Any time you access a page of this website that contains elements of LinkedIn, a connection to LinkedIn’s servers is established. LinkedIn is notified that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click on LinkedIn’s “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account at the time, LinkedIn will be in a position to allocate your visit to this website to your user account. We have to point out that we as the provider of the websites do not have any knowledge of the content of the transferred data and its use by LinkedIn. If your approval (consent) has been obtained the use of the abovementioned service shall occur on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 TTDSG (German Telecommunications Act). Such consent may be revoked at any time. If your consent was not obtained, the use of the service will occur on the basis of our legitimate interest in making our information as comprehensively visible as possible on social media. Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission.

Handling of applicant data
You can use the career section on our website and/or submit applications per email.
The personal data (master data, contact details, attachments such as cover letter, CV, certificates, etc.) of applicants is collected and processed for the purpose of handling the application process.
The data may be processed electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant transfers corresponding application documents to the controller, such as per email or through an online form on the website. The data entered by you in the application form is collected in our application management system. You receive a confirmation email after you send the form.
If you have applied per email or post, the relevant information is collected and your documents are scanned. We then professionally destroy the original paper documents so that your data is secure. We only use information that you have provided in your application, professional networks (such as XING or LinkedIn) or job fairs.
If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transferred data is stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in accordance with the legal requirements. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted 90 days after the announcement of the decision not to recruit the applicant, unless the controller has other opposing legitimate interests. Within this meaning, other legitimate interests are, for instance, the duty to provide evidence in proceedings in accordance with the General Sex Discrimination Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz – AGG).
Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR is the legal basis for the collection and processing of the data.
When you apply online, you can give your explicit consent for us to store and use your data even after the conclusion of the current application process (inclusion in the talent pool and consideration for other positions in our company). By giving this consent, you enable us to inform you about new vacancies that may be of interest to you and/or open vacancies. Your data is included in the talent pool solely on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). Giving your consent is voluntary and does not affect the ongoing application process. You can withdraw your consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the talent pool, unless there are legal obligations to store it. The data from the talent pool is irrevocably deleted no later than two years from the date on which you gave your consent.
Data transfer to third parties
The data transferred during your application is transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. This database is operated by Personio GmbH, which provides HR and application management software (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). In this context, Personio is our processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. These processing activities are based on a data processing agreement between us, the controller, and Personio.
Embedded third-party components
Our website uses embedded Facebook and LinkedIn components (videos, images, posts, etc.). The Facebook services are provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. The LinkedIn services are provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Embedded content from third-party websites acts exactly as if the visitor had visited the third-party website. LinkedIn and Facebook can collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services and record your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content, if you have an account and are logged in on this website.
We, the website operator, cannot allocate the data collected by the LinkedIn and Meta platforms to individuals. The LinkedIn and Meta platforms may store the collected personal data of the website visitors on their servers in the USA and use them for their own advertising measures.
