4. analysis tools and advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we can record and analyze data about the use of our website by the website visitors. We can, for example, find out which pages were accessed, when they were accessed, and the region from which they came. Furthermore, we store various log files (for example, IP address, referrer, and the browsers and operating systems used) and can measure certain actions (for example, clicks, purchases, and so on) performed by our website visitors.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Article 6(3) of the Analysis Tool. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing shall be carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(0). 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

IP anonymization

When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so that all analysis data remains with us and is not shared with other parties.

5th Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address submitted and you consent to receiving the newsletter. Other data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the information you requested and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is performed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke at any time your consent to the saving of data and of the e-mail address, as well as the use of the e-mail address for the sending of the newsletter, for example, using the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing already performed remains unaffected by a revocation.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to delete or block it.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, we or the newsletter provider store your e-mail address in a blacklist, to prevent you from being sent e-mails as part of future e-mail campaigns. The data from the blacklist is used for this purpose only and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in observing the legal requirements for the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). There is no time limit to the storage of your e-mail address in the blacklist. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

6. plugins and tools

OpenStreetMap

We use the map service of OpenStreetMap (OSM).

We integrate the map material from OpenStreetMap on the server of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, Great Britain. Great Britain is considered a third country that is safe under data protection law. This means that Great Britain has a level of data protection that corresponds to the level of data protection in the European Union. When using the OpenStreetMap maps, a connection to the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation is established. Among other things, Your IP address and other information about your behaviour on this website will be forwarded to the OSMF. For this purpose, OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser or use similar device recognition technologies.

We use OpenStreetMap to present our website in an attractive way and to make the places we name on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(c). 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing shall be carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(0). 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

7. own services

Handling applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for jobs with us (for example, by e-mail, by regular mail, or via our online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data is collected, processed, and used in accordance with current data protection law and all other legal requirements and that your data is handled in strict confidence

Scope and purpose of data collection

When you send us a job application, we process the personal data associated with it (for example, contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, and so on), where this is necessary for a decision about employing you. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general initiation of contracts) and, if you have given your consent, Article 6(0). 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data will be shared only with persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be processed on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we do not offer you a job or if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have submitted to us for up to six months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interest (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). After this period, the data will be deleted or the physical documents will be destroyed. In particular, this data is stored as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the six-month period (for example, due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when there is no longer a reason for further storage.

A longer retention period is also possible if you have given consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion.
