Privacy
The protection of your privacy and your personal data when using our websites is important to us. Therefore, we strictly adhere to the rules of the data protection laws, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) of the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Data Protection Regulation (EU-DSGVO). In the following, we explain what information we collect during your visit to our websites and how this information is used. We conduct our business in a manner that complies with applicable German law. German law applies.

Personal data
Personenbezogene Daten sind Einzelangaben über persönliche oder sachliche Verhältnisse einer bestimmten oder bestimmbaren natürlichen Person (z.B. Ihr richtiger Name, Ihre Anschrift, Ihre Telefonnummer und Ihr Geburtsdatum).

Collection and processing of personal data
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. The personal data that you provide to us via our contact form or by e-mail (e.g. your name and address or e-mail address) will only be processed for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you provided us with the data.

Use and disclosure of personal data
The information collected on this website or provided by you via e-mail will be forwarded to the relevant unit within our group of companies. We assure you that we will not pass on your personal data to third parties beyond this, unless we are legally obliged to do so or you have given us your prior consent. Insofar as we use service providers to carry out and handle processing procedures (commissioned data processing), the contractual relationships are regulated in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act.

Application procedure
We collect, process and use your personal data to process your online application. Your application data sent by e-mail will be transmitted directly to the personnel department and, of course, treated confidentially. Appropriate technical and organisational measures ensure that your personal data is handled in accordance with the legal requirements - confidentiality and security are of paramount importance. Please note that the data is transmitted unencrypted by e-mail and could possibly be accessed or even falsified by unauthorised persons. You are welcome to send us your documents by post instead. After the end of the application process, but after 6 months at the latest, your personal data will be automatically deleted unless you expressly consent to it being stored for a longer period.

Automatically collected information
When you access our website, we collect general information such as browser, number of visits, length of stay, pages viewed. We use automatically collected information to provide you with the website, to manage the website, to protect, develop and improve the website and to ensure technical functionality and security. When you visit our website, this automatically collected data is collected temporarily to enable you to visit our site. This data is not stored beyond the duration of your use of the website. We evaluate this automatically collected data statistically. You as an individual user remain anonymous. In particular, anonymously collected data is not combined with other personal data that may have been made available to us in order to create user profiles.

Newsletter
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you. By entering your e-mail address on the corresponding registration pages, you agree to receive a newsletter in accordance with the legal basis of Art. 6 I a) and 7 EU-DSGVO and § 7 II No. 3 UWG. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

Server Log Files
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 browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name and/or IP of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request

We use this automatically collected data to provide you with the website, to manage the website, to protect, develop and improve the website and to ensure technical functionality and security. We do not statistically analyse this automatically collected data. However, we reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

Security
We guarantee the confidentiality and security of your personal data in that

• we use your personal data, insofar as you communicate it to us via our website or in the context of e-mail communication, only to fulfil your request or concern,
• our employees are bound by confidentiality obligations,
• our security precautions are reasonably state of the art,
• our systems are regularly checked for security so that we can provide lasting protection against any damage, loss or access to the data we hold,
• and that our data protection officer ensures compliance with the "Data Protection Notice".

Despite regular checks, however, complete protection against all dangers is not possible.

Liability
All information contained on this website has been checked with great care. However, we do not guarantee that the contents of our own web pages are correct, complete and up-to-date at all times.

Updating
Insofar as we introduce new products or services, change Internet procedures or if Internet and EDP security technology develops further, the "data protection notice" must be updated. We therefore reserve the right to amend or supplement the statement as necessary. We will publish the change at this point. You should therefore visit this website regularly to find out about the current status of the data protection notice.

Security
We use technical and organisational measures to secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons. However, despite regular checks, complete protection against all dangers is not possible.

Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on the Internet user's PC. Their purpose is, for example, to control the connection during your visit to websites. They contain purely technical information, no personal data. We use cookies on various pages to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files that are stored on your computer. Most of the cookies we use are deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognise your computer on your next visit (so-called permanent cookies). Our partner companies are not permitted to collect, process or use personal data via our website using cookies. Under no circumstances will we associate these cookies with personal data. Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you as soon as cookies are sent. We recommend that you enable cookies, as otherwise some of the functions of our website will be severely impaired.

Privacy policy for the use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot usually be read by third parties.

Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043) also collects, processes and uses data on the use of the Maps functions by visitors to the website. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy, which can be accessed at www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.

Consent and revocation
Personal data provided to us via our website will only be stored until the purpose for which it was entrusted to us has been fulfilled. Insofar as retention periods under commercial and tax law must be observed, the storage period for certain data may be up to 10 years. If you no longer agree to the storage of your personal data or if this data has become incorrect, we will arrange for the deletion or blocking of your data or make the necessary corrections (insofar as this is possible under the applicable law) upon your instruction. Upon request, we will provide you with information free of charge about all personal data we have stored about you.
