In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
III. Information on data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or rendered inaccessible as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory obligation to preserve records, and no other information on individual processing methods is subsequently given.
SERVER DATA
For technical reasons, particularly to ensure a secure and stable website, your internet browser transmits data to our web space provider or us. These so-called server log files record, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our internet presence that you visit, the date and time of the respective access as well as the IP address of the Internet connection from which our website is used.
The data collected this way is stored temporarily but not with your other data.
This storage occurs on the legal basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, provided no further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is completely or partially excluded from deletion until the final clarification of an incident.
COOKIES
A) SESSION-COOKIES
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies deposited and stored on your end device by your Internet browser. To an individual extent, these cookies process certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure since the processing enables, for example, our website to be displayed in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 (b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to process data for contract initiation or execution.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.
B) THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
If necessary, our website also uses cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purpose of advertising, analysis, or the functionalities of our website.
For details on this, particularly the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies, please refer to the information below.
C) REMOVAL OPTIONS
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your internet browser accordingly. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on your specific Internet browser. If you have any questions, please use your Internet browser's help function or documentation, or contact its host or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, the processing cannot be prevented via browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player to this end. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the provider or user support.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
CUSTOMER ACCOUNT / REGISTRATION FUNCTION
If you create a customer account via our website, we will use and save the data you entered during registration (e.g. your name, address, or email address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for the fulfilment of the contract, or for the purpose of customer care (e.g. to provide you with an overview of your previous orders or to be able to offer you the so-called notepad function). At the same time, we save the IP address, the date of your registration, and the time. Of course, this data will not be passed on to third parties.
As part of the further registration process, your consent to this processing will be obtained, and reference will be made to this data privacy statement. The data we collect is used exclusively to provide the customer account.
If you consent to this processing, Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.
If the opening of the customer account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 Para. 1 (b) GDPR.
You can revoke the consent given to us to open and maintain the customer account at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation.
The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as processing is no longer necessary. However, we have to observe tax and commercial retention periods.

As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send the newsletter, describe the content specifically and refer you to this data privacy statement. We use the data collected this way exclusively to send the newsletter – it is therefore not passed on to third parties.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to the newsletter dispatch at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation or click the unsubscribe link in every newsletter.

If you contact us via the contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary for processing and answering your inquiry – without providing it, we cannot answer your inquiry at all or only to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 (b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted once your request has been answered conclusively, and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory obligation to preserve records, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.
USER CONTRIBUTIONS, COMMENTS, AND RATINGS
We offer you the option to publish questions, answers, opinions, or ratings, hereinafter referred to as "articles", on our website. If you use this offer, we will process and publish your contribution, the date and time of submission, and the pseudonym you may have used.

In addition, we also process your IP and email address. The IP address is processed because we have a legitimate interest in initiating or supporting further steps if your contribution infringes the rights of third parties and/or is otherwise unlawful.
In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para 1 (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in any legal defence that may be necessary.

ONLINE JOB APPLICATIONS / PUBLICATION OF JOB ADVERTISEMENTS
We offer you the option of applying via our website. With these digital applications, your applicant and application data will be electronically collected and processed by us to process within the context of the application process.

If an employment contract is concluded after the application process, we will store the data you transmitted during the application in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organizational and administrative process – of course, in compliance with the further legal obligations.
The legal basis for this processing is also Art. 26 Para. 1 (1) BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 Para. 1 GDPR.
If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data transmitted to us two months after you were notified of the rejection. However, the data will not be deleted if the data requires longer storage of up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings due to legal provisions, e.g., the burden of proof according to the General Act on Equal Treatment.
In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR and Art. 24 Para, 1 No. 2 Federal Data Protection Act. Our legitimate interest lies in legal defence and enforcement.
If you expressly agree to a longer storage of your data, e.g. for your inclusion in an applicant or interested party database, the data will be processed based on your consent. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR. However, you can, of course, revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR by declaring this to us with future effect.

YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".
We use YouTube in connection with the "extended data protection mode" function to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the "extended data protection mode" function ensures that the data described below is only transmitted to the YouTube server if you start a video.
Without this "extended data protection," a connection to the YouTube server in the USA will be established as soon as you access one of our websites on which a YouTube video is embedded.
This connection is required to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will record and process at least your IP address, the date and time and the website you have visited. In addition, a connection to Google's "DoubleClick" advertising network is established.
If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube assigns the connection information to your YouTube account. To prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
For the purpose of functionality and to analyse usage behaviour, YouTube permanently stores cookies via your Internet browser on your end device. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by making a setting in your Internet browser. See "Cookies" above for more information.

If you visit a page of our website in which a video is embedded, a connection to the Vimeo servers in the USA will be established to display the video.

To prevent this, you must either log out of Vimeo before visiting our website or configure your Vimeo user account accordingly.
For the purpose of functionality and usage analysis, Vimeo uses the web analysis service Google Analytics. Google Analytics stores cookies on your device via your internet browser and sends information about the use of our website, in which a Vimeo video is embedded, to Google.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. You can find details on this under "Cookies" above.

GOOGLE REMARKETING OR THE SIMILAR AUDIENCES COMPONENT OF GOOGLE

The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website.
