We typically process the following categories of personal data, among others:
We collect, use, store and process your personal data:
Your personal data will be disclosed to companies that provide services on our behalf in accordance with our instructions. In particular, these are companies in the categories of IT services, including website hosters, (cloud) software providers, including Microsoft Corp, Google LLC, Atlassian Ltd, data destruction, recruiting, printing and lettershop services.
If you communicate with us by e-mail, these are processed on cloud-based servers of our e-mail service provider Microsoft Corp.
We use so-called standard contractual clauses on data protection, which have been approved by the European Commission.
These standard contractual clauses are intended to guarantee data subjects affected by processing in unsafe third countries an adequate level of data protection, in particular legally binding and enforceable rights. For more information, including to request a copy of the documents used to protect your data, please contact us.
We will pass on your data to third parties if we are legally obliged to disclose your personal data or if we consider this necessary to protect the rights, property or security of us, our customers or third parties.
Transmissions to authorities and/or law enforcement agencies are made to the extent required by law or if it is necessary to protect our legitimate interests in accordance with applicable laws.
We will inform you separately about these transfers to third parties in accordance with Art. 13 - 14 GDPR, for example in the context of consent given to us.
As part of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the initiation, execution and fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude the contract or will no longer be able to fulfil an existing contract and may have to terminate it.
We only process and store personal data of data subjects for as long as the purpose pursued requires it or is required by law. For example, retention periods under commercial and tax law may prevent deletion. The retention and documentation periods specified there are up to ten years. If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a legally prescribed storage period expires, the personal data is routinely deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions, unless it is used as evidence.
We process applicant data for the duration of the application process. If your application is unsuccessful, we will store applicant data after notification of the rejection decision for as long as we need the data to clarify enquiries or disputes. As a rule, we delete your application data no later than 5 months after the end of the application process. If you have expressly agreed that we should also consider your application for future job advertisements, your data may also be stored for a correspondingly longer period.
Every person affected by our personal data processing has the right of access under Article 15 GDPR, the right to rectification under Article 16 GDPR, the right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR, the right to object under Article 21 GDPR and the right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR. The restrictions under Sections 34 and 35 BDSG apply to the right to information and the right to erasure. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority for data protection, e.g. the data protection authority responsible for your place of residence, your workplace or the location of the data protection breach.
If you have any questions about this data protection notice or would like to contact us for any other reason relating to the processing of personal data, please contact us using the contact details provided at the beginning.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a legal obligation or balancing of interests); this also applies, where applicable, to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4(4) GDPR.
In individual cases, we also process your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You also have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data 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.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. In the case of direct advertising by e-mail, you can revoke your consent to receive it at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A notification in text form to the aforementioned contact details (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this purpose.
You can revoke any consent you have given us at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
This data protection notice may be updated regularly. We will update the date at the top of this website accordingly and recommend that you check it for changes.

In extended data protection mode, YouTube guarantees that it will not store any cookies with personal data on your end device. In particular, that there is no connection to the DoubleClick ad network when the video is called up.
Simply clicking on an embedded YouTube video can trigger further processing operations over which we, as the operator of this website, have no influence.
Please note that data may also be transferred to the USA, in particular by Google. With your consent, you also agree to such transmissions in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

We use various video conferencing tools for communication. Data processing takes place as part of your participation in a video conference or online event.
In addition to image and sound, the following data is typically processed: Name and IP address of the participant, name of the room, data on the end device used. In addition, depending on usage, content may be generated from shared screens, chats, whiteboard posts or statuses. Where applicable, telephone dialling-in data can be processed: All voice communication and traffic data (telephone number, dialling-in number, PIN, call duration). In the event of technical errors, the error ID and the affected device data are also saved.
The online events are typically not recorded.

If you use our video conferencing services together with us, certain connection data will be processed on cloud-based servers of the US service providers.
The transfer of personal data to so-called unsafe third countries outside the EEA cannot be ruled out. Such third countries do not have a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.
We have therefore provided suitable guarantees with the aforementioned providers by means of standard contractual clauses issued by the EU Commission, which provide you with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies. We also endeavour to enable you to use such software in a data-saving manner (e.g. participation in a video conference without registering your e-mail address in MS Teams).

In the case of GoogleMaps, the processing of personal data in the so-called third country USA, i.e. outside the EEA, cannot be ruled out.

In doing so, we determine whether we are authorised to enter into a business relationship with you, taking into account the provisions of the Money Laundering Act and the EU sanctions lists in accordance with EU Regulations 2580/2001 and 881/2002.
