However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.

You can contact us or our data protection officer directly at any time with all questions and suggestions regarding data protection.

4. legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a DS-GVO (in conjunction with Section 25 (1) TTDSG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data is required, such as for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DS-GVO are based.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO are based. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

5. transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only share your personal information with third parties if:

  1. you provide us with your personal data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO have given express consent to this,
  2. the disclosure according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
  3. in the event that for the transfer according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DS-GVO a legal obligation exists, as well as
  4. this is legally permissible and in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

In order to protect your data and to allow us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to provide an adequate level of security, your consent may be required in accordance with Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO serve as a legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR.

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

Personal data may be transferred to the U.S. as part of the processing operations described in this Privacy Policy. The USA does not have an adequate level of data protection (ECJ: Schrems II ruling). In particular, U.S. investigative authorities can compel U.S. companies to hand over or disclose personal data without the data subjects being able to effectively take legal action against this. This means that, in principle, there is a possibility that your personal data will be processed by U.S. investigative authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities. To protect your data, we have entered into commissioned processing agreements based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to provide an adequate level of security, your consent may be required in accordance with Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO serve as a legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR.

8. contents of our website

8.1 Contacting / Contact form

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of the use of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

8.2 Application management / job exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends us the relevant application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

9. our activities in social networks

So that we can also communicate with you in social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible for the processing operations triggered thereby, within the meaning of Art. 26 DS-GVO, with the provider of the respective social media platform.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

Therefore, as a precaution, we point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as safeguarding your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., could be more difficult and processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behavior is assigned to your own member profile of the social networks.

The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO in conjunction with. Art. 7 DS-GVO.

As we do not have access to the providers’ databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider.

12.1 Google Maps

On our website we use Google Maps (API). The operating company of Google Maps is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, for example, our location can be shown to you and a possible journey can be made easier.

Already when calling up those sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. Additionally, Google Maps reloads the Google Web Fonts. The provider of Google WebFonts is also Google Ireland Limited. When you access a page that embeds Google Maps, your browser loads the web fonts needed to display Google Maps into your browser cache. Also for this purpose, the browser you use establishes a connection to Google’s servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option to completely disable the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website can then not be used.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can view Google’s terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html and the additional terms of use for Google Maps at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.
