Data protection information for further uses

The information provided also applies to the following special uses, unless any other arrangements have been made.

The following data are collected when our website is visited:

Information about the browser type and version used
The user’s operating system
The user’s internet service provider
The user’s IP address
The date and time of access
Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
Websites accessed via our website by the user’s system

The data are also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the system log files is provided by point (f) of Article 6 (1) of the GDPR.

Storage in system log files is carried out to ensure that our website works properly. In addition, the data also help us to optimise the website and ensure that our information technology systems are secure. The data are not analysed for marketing purposes in this connection.

The data are erased as soon as they are no longer required for achieving the purpose of their collection. Where the data are stored in system log files, this is after seven days at the latest. It is possible that the data may be stored beyond this time. In this case the user’s IP addresses are erased or anonymised, so that identification of the visiting client is no longer possible.

 

+ Job applications

This website enables you to submit applications for job vacancies online. In the course of your application we process your contact details as well details submitted by you with respect to your curriculum vitae and qualifications and photos. The data are used exclusively for the application process and are erased after six months. Only key basic details for the purposes of comparisons with previous applications are retained and then erased after 24 months.

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of dealing with the application process, which can also be carried out by electronic means. This is the case in particular where applicants submit application documents by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on a website. If a contract of employment is concluded with an applicant, the data transmitted for the purpose of processing the employment relationship are stored in compliance with statutory regulations. Where a contract of employment with the applicant is not concluded by those responsible for processing, the application documents shall be automatically erased three months after notice of the decision to turn down the application has been given, provided there are no other legitimate interests of those responsible for processing which are in conflict with erasure. Other legitimate interest in this sense can mean, for example, burden of proof in proceedings pursuant to the German General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetz [AGG]).

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is the consent given pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO.
The users' personal data is deleted or anonymized after 14 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once a month.

On this website, we have added the function "anonymizeIp()" to the code of Google Analytics. The collection of IP addresses is thus anonymized.

 

 

+ Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. Through this service, website tags can be managed through an interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

The processing of the personal data from the input screen or the e-mail is used exclusively for the purpose of dealing with the contact you make with us and/or the conversation with you. This is also the required legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data which are processed are used to prevent misuse of the contact form and ensure that our information technology systems are secure.
