Information on the handling of personal data

We are delighted that you are interested in our website – and therefore in our company. The protection of your private rights and freedoms is important to us; we only use your data for the purposes intended. As it is important to us that you know at all times to what extent we collect, use and, if necessary, transfer your data to third parties, we will inform you in detail below about the processing of your personal data collected by us or stored by us.

It is generally possible to visit our website without providing (personal) data; if there are any exceptions to this for selected services, we will explain these in the following sections. When processing personal data, we strictly adhere to the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and, where applicable, other data protection regulations.

Rights of the data subject

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guarantees every data subject certain rights in relation to their personal data. These include:

  • The right to information: Every data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from us as to whether or not personal data is being processed and to obtain information about this data as well as further information and copies of this data.

  • The right to rectification: Every data subject has the right to demand the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data.

  • The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): Every data subject has the right to request the immediate erasure of their personal data.

  • The right to restriction of processing: Every data subject has the right to request the restriction of the processing of their personal data.

  • The right to data portability: Every data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

  • Right to object: Every data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. If we process personal data about the data subject for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject may object to this processing in accordance with Art. 21 (2) and (3) GDPR.

The data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if they consider that the processing of their personal data infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority responsible for us is: State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information North Rhine-Westphalia

Furthermore, we will retain data in connection with consents requiring proof as well as complaints and claims for the duration of the statutory limitation periods.

As soon as you visit our website, our web server collects some general data and technical information – as shown in the following table:

Data collected

Purpose of the survey

Browser types and versions used

Correct display of page content

Operating system used, visitor origin (referrer, e.g. Google), subpages clicked on

Optimization of our website content and advertising

Date and time of access to the website as well as the visitor’s IP address and internet service provider

Cookies

We use cookies on this website; these are small text files that are stored on your computer via your Internet browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). These cookies are used for various purposes: Many cookies are technically necessary to provide you with certain website functions (e.g. shopping cart functions, saving your login information), other cookies are used for the security of your data or the website and some cookies can be used to analyze your user behavior. The latter cookies may contain a so-called cookie ID – a unique identifier consisting of a character string that enables websites and servers to be assigned to the storing browser.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network and cookies that are absolutely necessary to provide you with an expressly requested function are referred to as “technically necessary cookies” and may be set without your explicit consent (Section 25 (2) TDDDG). All other cookies are subject to consent (Section 25 (1) TDDDG); where applicable, this is regulated by our consent management platform.
We use cookies partly only for the duration of your visit to the website, partly for a predefined period and partly permanently. You can delete all these cookies manually or automatically at any time via your web browser.
It is possible to use our website (although possibly not to its full extent) without cookies. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser so that it notifies you as soon as cookies are sent.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits. This data contains information such as the browser type and version, the operating system used, the referrer URL, the host name of the accessing computer, the time of the server request and the IP address. This information is not merged with other data sources.

This processing of data serves the technically error-free presentation and security of the website. The stored information is deleted after seven days, unless there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use, which makes further verification necessary. It is not possible for us to identify you from the stored information. Therefore, Articles 15 to 22 GDPR do not apply in accordance with Article 11(2) GDPR, unless you provide further information that enables your identification.

Application and application procedure

Purpose of the processing

Applicant data is collected, processed and used for the purpose of selecting potential employees.

Legal basis (pursuant to Art. 6 / 9 GDPR)

 

Recipient, if applicable (in case of forwarding)

The data will not be passed on to third parties and/or to a third country.

If applicable, intention of onward transfer to a third country or international organization (incl. information on adequacy decision of the Commission or suitable guarantees)

Forwarding does not take place and is not planned.

If known: Duration of data storage

The personal data of applicants whom we do not hire will be stored for the period required for possible legal claims (e.g. under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG)) (maximum 6 months) and then immediately destroyed or deleted.

Obligation to provide personal data (e.g. due to legal or contractual regulations) / necessity

For a smooth application process, it is necessary that you provide us with the requested information truthfully.

Consequences of non-compliance (failure to provide the required data)

Failure to do so (i.e. failure to provide the required data) may mean that an employment contract cannot be concluded with you.

Existence of automated decision-making, if applicable

In this context, we do not use automated decision-making.

If applicable, origin of the data (if not collected directly from the data subject)

As a rule, the data originates from the data subject themselves; however, it may also originate from third parties.

Where applicable, categories of personal data (if not collected directly from the data subject).

Master data, contact data, application data

Change of purpose, if applicable

If we take you on as an employee after the application process has been completed, the purpose for processing the relevant data will change: in this case, the data will be used in future to implement and maintain the employment relationship.

Analysis tool Matomo

Our website uses the web analysis service Matomo (formerly Piwik). Matomo is an open source solution.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by website visitors. This enables us to find out, among other things, when which pages were accessed and from which region. We also record various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, etc.).

This analysis tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG, 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 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If you do not agree with the storage and use of your data, you can deactivate the storage and use here. In this case, an opt-out cookie is stored in your browser that prevents Matomo from storing usage data. If you delete your cookies, the Matomo opt-out cookie will also be deleted. The opt-out must then be reactivated when you visit our site again.

You have the option of preventing the actions you take here from being analyzed and linked. This will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and improving usability for you and other users.

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

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers in Germany, so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.

Further information on Matomo’s terms of use and data protection regulations can be found at: https://matomo.org/privacy/
