We adhere to the principles of data economy and data avoidance. This means that we only store your data for as long as necessary to fulfil the aforementioned purposes or for as long as the various storage periods stipulated by the legislator. If the respective purpose becomes obsolete or after the expiry of the corresponding periods, your data will be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

We have developed an internal company concept to ensure this procedure.

Protection of your personal data
We take contractual, technical and organisational security measures in accordance with the state of the art in order to ensure that the data protection laws are observed and thus to protect the processed data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorised persons.

The security measures include, in particular, the encrypted transfer of data between your browser and our servers.
A TLS encryption system is used for this purpose.

Your personal data are protected in the context of the following points (excerpt):
a) Protecting the confidentiality of your personal data
In order to protect the confidentiality of your data stored with us, we have taken various access and control measures.

b) Protecting the integrity of your personal data
In order to protect the integrity of your data stored with us, we have taken various transfer and input control measures.

c) Protecting the availability of your personal data
In order to protect the availability of your data stored with us, we have taken various order and availability control measures.

Our applied security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. Despite these precautions, and due to the uncertain nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmission to our website. Therefore, any data transmission by you is at your own risk.

Protection of adolescents
Personal information may only be made available to us by persons under the age of 16 with the express consent of their legal guardians. These data will be processed in accordance with this privacy policy.

Server log files
The provider of the pages collects and automatically stores information in so-called server log files that your browser transmits to us automatically.
These are:
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server query
• IP address

These data are not combined with other data sources.

The legal basis for the data processing is, in accordance with Article. 6 (1) f) GDPR,
our legitimate interest.

Data processing within the framework of the job application process
On our website we offer job applicants the possibility of submitting applications to us in writing or by email.
Information required as part of the application process includes general personal information (name, address, telephone or electronic means of contact) and performance-specific documentation of qualifications required for a position. Where applicable, health-related information may also be required, which must be given special consideration under employment and social security law in the interest of the applicant's social protection.

When you send us your application documents, your data will be transmitted to us via the selected communication method and processed exclusively for the purpose of dealing with your application. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that an email application is voluntary and that transmission is not secure, as unauthorised persons can intercept emails and possibly use the contents for their own purposes.

The legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) b) GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), for the purposes of which the application process is considered to be the initiation of a contract of employment. Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 (1) GDPR (e.g., data concerning health such as information on severe disability) are requested from applicants as part of the application process, processing will be in accordance with Article 9 (2) b) GDPR, so that we can exercise the specific rights and carry out our obligations in the field of employment and social security law and social protection law.

Based on the above or alternatively the special categories of data may also be processed based on Article 9 (1) h) GDPR, if it is for the purpose of preventive or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of the applicant, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services.

If the applicant is not selected in the course of the evaluation described above or if an applicant withdraws his/her application prematurely, the data provided up to that point will be deleted after four months at the latest following appropriate notification. This period is defined on the basis of our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions about the application and, if necessary, to comply with our obligations to provide evidence under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.

In the event of a successful application, the data which have been provided will be processed further on the basis of Article 6 (1) b) GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) for the purpose of the implementation of the employment relationship.

In the application process you are also entitled to the data subject rights under Chapter III of the GDPR (e.g., right of access, right to erasure or rectification) as well as the the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Changes to our privacy policy
