The term "personal data" under data protection law refers to all information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, in particular the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act. Data processing by us only takes place on the basis of legal permission. We process personal data only with your consent (Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or at your request for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1. lit. b GDPR), for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or where processing is necessary for the purposes of protecting our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require the protection of personal data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

If you apply for a vacant position in our company, we will also process your personal data for the purpose of deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship (§ 26 para. 1 s. 1 BDSG).

Unless stated otherwise in the following notes, we only store the data for as long as is necessary to achieve the processing purpose or to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations. Such legal retention obligations may arise in particular from commercial or tax law regulations. From the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected, we will retain such personal data contained in our accounting records for ten years and retain personal data contained in commercial letters and contracts for six years. In addition, we will retain data in connection with consents requiring proof, as well as with complaints and claims for the duration of the statutory limitation periods. We will delete data stored for advertising purposes if you object to processing for this purpose.

We use processors as part of the processing of your data. Processing operations carried out by such processors include, for example, hosting, emailing, provision and support of IT systems, customer and order management, accounting and billing, marketing activities or file and disk destruction. A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller. Processors do not use the data for their own purposes but carry out data processing exclusively for the data controller and are contractually obliged to guarantee appropriate technical and organizational measures for data protection. In addition, we may transfer your personal data to bodies such as postal and delivery services, your house bank, tax consultancy/auditing firm or the tax authorities. Further recipients may result from the following information.

Our data processing operations may involve the transfer of certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries where the GDPR is not applicable law. Such a transfer takes place in a permissible manner if the European Commission has determined that an adequate level of data protection is required in such a third country. If such an adequacy decision by the European Commission does not exist, a transfer of personal data to a third country shall only take place if appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR are in place or if one of the conditions of Article 49 of the GDPR is met.

Unless otherwise stated below, we use the EU standard data protection clauses as appropriate safeguards for transfers of personal data to third countries. You have the possibility to obtain a copy of these EU standard data protection clauses or to inspect them. To do so, please contact us at theaddress given under Contact.

If you consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the transfer is made on the legal basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

If you exercise your rights in accordance with Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, we will process the personal data provided for the purpose of implementing these rights by us and to be able to provide evidence of this. We will only process data stored for the purpose of providing information and preparing it for this purpose and for the purpose of data protection control and otherwise restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.

These processing operations are based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with. Art. 15 to 22 GDPR and § 34 para. 2 BDSG.

As a data subject, you have the right to assert your data subject rights against us. In particular, you have the following rights:

• In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR and § 34 BDSG, you have the right to request information as to whether and, if so, to what extent we are processing personal data relating to you or not.
• You have the right to demand that we correct your data in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR.
• You have the right to demand that we delete your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR and § 35 BDSG.

• You have the right, in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transfer this data to another controller.
• If you have given us separate consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. Such a revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
• If you are of the opinion that a processing of personal data concerning you violates the provisions of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.

In accordance with Article 21 para. 1 GDPR, you have the right to object to processing based on the legal basis of Article 6 para. 1 lit. e) or f) of the GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation. If we process personal data about you for the purpose of direct marketing, you may object to this processing pursuant to Article 21 para. 2 and 3 of the GDPR.

When you use the website, we collect information that you provide yourself. In addition, during your visit to the website, we automatically collect certain information about your use of the website. In data protection law, the IP address is also generally considered to be a personal data. An IP address is assigned to every device connected to the Internet by the Internet provider so that it can send and receive data.

During the purely informative use of our website, general information that your browser transmits to our server is initially stored automatically (i.e. not via registration). This includes by default: browser type/version, operating system used, page accessed, the previously visited page (referrer URL), IP address, date and time of the server request and HTTP status code.

The processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interests and is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR. This processing serves the technical administration and security of the website. The stored data is deleted after seven days at the latest, unless there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete indications and further examination and processing of the information is necessary for this reason. We are not able to identify you as a data subject from the stored information. Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR therefore do not apply pursuant to Article 11 para. 2 of the GDPR unless you provide additional information that enables you to be identified in order to exercise your rights set out in these articles.

Our website contains contact forms that you can use to send us messages. The transfer of your data is encrypted (recognisable by the "https" in the address line of the browser). All data fields marked as mandatory are required to process your request. Failure to provide this information will result in us not being able to process your request. The provision of further data is voluntary. Alternatively, you can send us a message via the contact e-mail. We process the data for the purpose of answering your request.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We process the data on the basis of our legitimate interest in initiating and carrying out contractual relationships with our customers and in contacting persons making enquiries.

You have the option of applying via our website in the Careers section. For this purpose, we collect personal data from you, including in particular your name, CV, letter of application and other content provided by you. For the selection of our applications, we use the service provider Greenhouse, Greenhouse Software, Inc. (USA), which is solely bound by instructions for us in accordance with the legal requirements for order processing.

If you send us your application via a job portal, your application documents are transferred to Greenhouse via the JOIN service of JOIN Solutions GmbH (Germany, EU). JOIN also acts on our behalf in accordance with the legal requirements for data processing on behalf. Your personal application data will only be processed for purposes related to your interest in current or future employment with us and the processing of your application. Your application will only be processed and noted by the relevant contacts at our company.

All employees entrusted with data processing are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of your data. If we are unable to offer you employment, we will retain the data you have provided for up to six months after the end of the application process for the purpose of answering questions relating to your application and rejection. This does not apply if legal provisions prevent deletion, if further storage is necessary for the purpose of providing evidence or if you have expressly consented to longer storage.

The legal basis for data processing is Section 26 para. 1 sent. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

If we retain your applicant data for longer than six months and you have expressly consented to this,
we would like to point out that this consent can be freely withdrawn at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. Such a withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.

We offer the possibility to register for our newsletter on our website. After registration, we will inform you regularly about the latest news on our offers. A valid e-mail address is required to register for the newsletter. To verify the e-mail address, you will first receive a registration e-mail, which you must confirm via a link (double opt-in). If you subscribe to the newsletter on our website, we process personal data such as your e-mail address and name on the basis of the consent you have given. The processing is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter or by contacting us via the channels mentioned above.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address and the date and time of registration. The processing of this data is necessary in order to be able to prove that consent has been given. The legal basis results from our legal obligation to document your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter c in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR).

We also analyze the reading behavior and opening rates of our newsletter. We evaluate the data generated during the delivery and retrieval of our emails in aggregated and anonymized form (delivery rate, opening rate, click rates, unsubscribe rate, bounce rate, visits, completions) in order to measure the use and success of the emails. The legal basis for the analysis of our newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and the processing serves our legitimate interest in optimizing our newsletter. You can object to this at any time by contacting one of the above-mentioned contact channels.

On the other hand, we also evaluate the data generated when you retrieve and use these e-mails (time of opening, hyperlinks clicked on, documents downloaded) as well as movement data on downstream websites on a personal basis in connection with your e-mail address in order to send you individualized information in the future on this basis as well, which take your interests and needs into account in the best possible way. We use the anonymous and personal data collected to provide you with personalized content and individualized information in our promotional e-mails and downstream websites.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter or by contacting us via the above-mentioned channels.

For the administration of the subscriptions, the dispatch of the newsletter and the analysis, we use the service HubSpot, of HubSpot Germany GmbH (Germany, EU). Your email address is therefore transmitted by us to the service provider. We also cannot exclude the possibility that the service provider may also process personal data in third countries. If you do not want your data to be processed by this service provider, you should not register for the newsletter or unsubscribe from it. Please note the information in the section "Data transfer to third countries".

You can register for various webinars on our website. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide your personal data. The data is collected via an input mask on our website.

You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time. You can object to the use of cookies in principle or for specific cases through your browser settings.

The use of cookies is partly technically necessary for the operation of our website and thus permissible without the consent of the user. In addition, we may use cookies to offer special functions and content as well as for analysis and marketing purposes. These may also include cookies from third-party providers (so-called third party cookies). We only use such technically unnecessary cookies with your consent in accordance with Section 25 para. 1 Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (“TTDSG”) and, where applicable, Article 6 para lit. a GDPR. Information on the purposes, providers, technologies used, data stored and the storage period of individual cookies can be found in the cookie settings, which you can access at any time in the footer of our website.

This website uses the consent management tool Borlabs of Borlabs GmbH (Germany, EU) to control cookies and the processing of personal data.

cookie settings, you consent to the use of the associated cookies.

The legal basis under data protection law is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para 1 lit. a GDPR. In addition, the banner helps us to provide evidence of the declaration of consent. For this purpose, we process information about the declaration of consent and further log data about this declaration.

Cookies are also used to collect this data. The processing of this data is necessary in order to be able to prove that consent has been given. The legal basis results from our legal obligation to document your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR).

You can revoke your consent for cookies at any time via the Consent Management Tool, which can be accessed in the footer of our website.

a) Google Analytics
We use the Google Analytics service of the provider Google Ireland Limited (Ireland, EU) on our website.

Personal data in the form of online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses, device identifiers and information about interaction with our website is processed.

Some of this data is information that is stored in the terminal device you are using. In addition, further information is also stored on your end device via the cookies used. Such storage of information by Google Analytics or access to information that is already stored in your end device only takes place with your consent.

Google Ireland will process the data collected in this way on our behalf in order to evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports on the activities within our website and to provide us with further services associated with the use of our website and the use of the internet. In doing so, pseudonymous user profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.

The personal data processed on our behalf to provide Google Analytics may be transferred to any country in which Google Ireland or Google Ireland's sub-processors maintain facilities. Please refer to the information in the section "Data transfer to third countries".

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google Ireland within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other data. Further information on the use of data for advertising purposes can be found in Google's privacy policy at: www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

We use the Google Analytics 4 variant, which allows us to track interaction data from different devices and from different sessions. This allows us to put individual user actions in context and analyze long-term relationships.

The data is stored for a period of 14 months and then automatically deleted. The deletion of data whose storage period has expired takes place automatically once a month.

The processing serves our legitimate interest to evaluate the types of actions taken on our site and to improve our site based on these insights. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. lit. f GDPR.

We cannot attribute the information obtained via page insights to individual user profiles interacting with our pages.
