These include an Internet protocol address (IP address); the browser type and version; the website from which a system accessing our website gained access (the so called “referrer”); the subwebsites which were the accessing system’s destination; the date and time of accessing the website and any other similar data and information which serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

Our legitimate interest in processing is, in the case, to facilitate the clarification and criminal prosecution of such attacks and unlawful use.

We will process applicants’ data such as name, contact details, CV, nationality, work permit, etc. to facilitate the selection and/or employment procedure within the scope of the application process, with the aim of filling vacancies at our company.

  • To optimize our job application processes,
  • To ensure compliance with compliance regulations, industry standards and contractual obligations,
  • To assert, exercise or defend legal claims, and

Your data will be erased when the corresponding purpose has been carried out, however will, prior to this, be stored for as long as required to defend ourselves against any legal claims and/or any claims of discrimination. This period is generally 6 months. Particularly interesting candidates whom we cannot currently offer a position will be asked to consent to a longer storage period (generally one year). Insofar as accountingrelevant processing is carried out, such as reimbursement of travel expenses, then the relevant required data will be deleted after the corresponding legal storage period has expired – generally 6 or 10 years.

Should the job application be successful and we are able to welcome you to our company after signing a contractual agreement, then we will include the data provided to us within the scope of the application process in your personnel file.

Section 6

Use of social media plugins

We currently use the following social media plugins: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Twitch, YouTube. When doing so, we use the so called “two click solution”. This means that as a matter of principle when you visit our site no personal data will initially be forwarded to the plugin provider. You can identify the plugin provider by the highlighting in the box above the first letter of the name or the logo. We give you the option of communicating directly with the plugin provider by using the button. The plugin provider will only receive the information that you have called up the corresponding website in our online offering if you click the highlighted field, thus activating it. In addition to this, the data listed in Section 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook, the operator states that in Germany the IP address will be anonymized immediately upon collection. By activating the plugin your personal data will thus be transmitted to the relevant plugin provider, where it will be stored (in the case of US American providers, in the USA). Since the plugin providers uses cookies in particular to gather the data, we recommend that you use your browser settings to delete all cookies before clicking the grey box.

We have no influence over what data is gathered or the data processing procedures and have no knowledge of the full extent of the data which is gathered; the purposes behind its processing or the storage times. Furthermore, we have no information regarding erasure of the data gathered by the plugin provider.

The plugin provider stores the data collected about you as a usage profile and uses this profile for advertising purposes, market research and/or the needs based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to present needs based advertising and to inform other social network users about your activities on our website. You can object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the relevant plugin provider to do so. The plugins allow us to offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users, thus allowing us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for plugin use is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data forwarding takes places regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged on to it or not. When you are logged on with the plugin provider the data gathered on our website will be directly assigned to your account with the plugin provider. Should you click the activated button and, for example, link the site, then the plugin provider will also save this information in your user account and share it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log off after using a social network, in particular, however, before activating the button since this allows you to avoid identification of your profile with the plugin provider.
