Privacy Policy

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on data protection can be found in the Privacy Policy below.

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. The operator’s contact details can be found in the section “Information on the controller” in this Privacy Policy.

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us—for example, by entering data in a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system, time of the page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse user behaviour.

You have the right at any time to obtain free information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request rectification or erasure of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of data protection.

When you visit this website, your browsing behaviour may be statistically evaluated—primarily with analytics programs.

Detailed information on these programs can be found in the Privacy Policy below.

We host our website with All-Inkl. Provider is ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, owner René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf (hereinafter “All-Inkl”). Details can be found in All-Inkl’s privacy policy: https://all-inkl.com/datenschutzinformationen/.

The use of All-Inkl is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in a presentation of our website that is as reliable as possible. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This data protection contract is required by law and ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmission on the internet (e.g. communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

DURID GmbH
Uwe Rickert
Westrampe 8
38442 Wolfsburg

Phone: +49 5362 509980
Email: info@durid.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Unless a more specific storage period is specified within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a justified request for erasure or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place after these reasons cease to apply.

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer for our company.

Tobias Kußmaul

DURID GmbH

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or in other third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that in these countries a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

IF PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF 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 THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF 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).

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 the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as orders or enquiries—you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

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 the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. 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 verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/ is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have objected 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 the processing of your personal data, such data—apart from its storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that do not cause any harm to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Third-party cookies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site. These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies serve to analyse user behaviour or display advertising.

Cookies necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), for providing certain functions you desire (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart) or for optimising the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Where third-party cookies or cookies for analytics purposes are used, we will inform you separately in this Privacy Policy and, where applicable, request consent.

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of their website—for this the server log files must be collected.

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after completion of your enquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly retention periods—remain unaffected.

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data on the use of our websites (usage data) only to the extent 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.

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested.

The data you send us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

We use Google Tag Manager. Provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager is a tool that helps us integrate tracking or analytics tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not carry out its own analyses. It merely serves to manage and deliver the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States. The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and administration of various tools on the website. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

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 enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent, operating systems used and the origin of the user. Google may summarise this data in a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their device. Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The use of this analytics tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise both the web offering and advertising. Where consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

We have activated IP anonymisation on this website. This means that your IP address is truncated 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 truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

This website uses the “demographics” feature of Google Analytics to display appropriate advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. Reports can thus be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. These data originate from interest-based advertising by Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described under “Objection to data collection”.

This website uses the “e-commerce tracking” function of Google Analytics. With the help of e-commerce tracking, the website operator can analyse the purchasing behaviour of website visitors in order to improve online marketing campaigns. Information such as orders placed, average order values, shipping costs and the time from viewing to purchasing a product is recorded. Google may summarise this data under a transaction ID which is assigned to the respective user or their device.

User- and event-level data stored by Google that is linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. User ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android Advertising ID) is anonymised or deleted after 14 months. Details can be found at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads allows 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). Targeted advertisements can also be displayed based on user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (audience targeting). We as website operator can evaluate these data quantitatively, e.g. by analysing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks. The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of its services and products possible. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

This website uses functions of Google DoubleClick. Provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“DoubleClick”). DoubleClick is used to show you interest-based advertisements across the Google advertising network. Advertisements can be targeted to the interests of the respective viewer with the help of DoubleClick. For example, our advertising may appear in Google search results or in advertising banners associated with DoubleClick. To be able to display interest-based advertising, DoubleClick must be able to recognise the relevant viewer and assign to them the websites visited, clicks and other information on user behaviour. For this purpose, DoubleClick uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). The collected information is combined into a pseudonymous user profile in order to display interest-based advertising to the relevant user. The use of Google DoubleClick is in the interest of targeted advertising measures. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. Further information on opt-out options against Google’s displayed ads can be found at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

This website uses Google conversion tracking. 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 performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate how often particular buttons on our website are clicked and which products are viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who have clicked on our ads and what actions they have performed. We do not receive any information by which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification. The use of Google conversion tracking is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise both its web offering and advertising. Where consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. More information on Google conversion tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

This website integrates videos from YouTube. Operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they view the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode. Thus, YouTube—regardless of whether you watch a video—establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube can store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. Among other things, this information is used to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts.

Further data processing operations may be triggered after a YouTube video has started, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

This site uses web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google servers takes place.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

This site uses Font Awesome for the uniform display of fonts and icons. Provider is Fonticons, Inc., 6 Porter Road Apartment 3R, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

When you access a page, your browser loads the required fonts into its browser cache to display texts, fonts and icons correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Font Awesome’s servers. Through this, Font Awesome becomes aware that this website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Font Awesome is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on our website. Where consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

If your browser does not support Font Awesome, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information can be found in Font Awesome’s privacy policy: https://fontawesome.com/privacy.

This site uses the Google Maps map service. Provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Web Fonts for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and to make the locations indicated by us on the website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found at: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

More information on handling user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (“reCAPTCHA”) on this website. Provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

reCAPTCHA is intended to check whether data entry on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website or user mouse movements). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and from SPAM. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on Google reCAPTCHA can be found in Google’s privacy policy and terms of use at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.

We use BulletProof Security Pro on this website. Provider is AITpro Website Design, 81 N Katherine Dr, Ventura, CA 93003, USA (“BulletProof Security”).

BulletProof Security protects our website from unauthorised access or malicious cyberattacks. To this end, BulletProof Security records, among other things, the time and source of login attempts and log data (e.g. the browser used). It continuously scans the online offering for malware, viruses and other malicious software and protects the online offering through technical security measures such as firewall or security logging. The software allows IP address storage to be deactivated via the option “GDPR Compliance (IP Address Logging On|Off)”. Accordingly, IP addresses are not stored. BulletProof Security is installed locally on our servers.

The use of BulletProof Security is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective protection possible of its website against cyberattacks. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information and BulletProof Security’s applicable privacy terms can be found at https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/bps-gdpr-compliance/ and https://www.ait-pro.com/about/privacy-policy/.

This website uses the analytics tool Rank Math to statistically evaluate visitor access. Provider is Rank Math Ventures LLP, EC-320, G-8, Area Rajouri Garden, Maya Enclave, Hari Nagar, New Delhi, IN – 110064

With RankMath we can analyse the use of our website. RankMath records, among other things, log files (IP address, referrer, browsers used, origin of the user, search engine used) and actions performed by website visitors on the site (e.g. clicks and views).

The data collected with RankMath is stored exclusively on our own server.

The use of this analytics tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both our web offering and our advertising.

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/.

The legal bases for processing personal data in this context are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, by post or via an online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the 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 strictly confidentially.

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent that 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(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and—if you have given consent—Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be passed on within our company only to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

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(1)(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 physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g. due to a pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies. Longer retention can also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

If we are unable to make you a job offer, there may be the possibility of including you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and details from the application are transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies. Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application process. The data subject can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided that there are no statutory retention reasons. The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted at the latest two years after consent has been given.
