Personal data are data about your person. This includes your name, address and email address. You do not have to disclose any personal data to visit our website. In some cases we need your name and address as well as other information to be able to offer you the requested service.

The same applies in the case that we supply you with information material on request or when we answer your inquiries. In these cases we will always point this out to you. In addition, we only store the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.

When you use one of our services, we usually only collect the data that is necessary to provide you with our service. We may ask you for additional information, but this is voluntary. Whenever we process personal data, we do so to provide you with our service or to pursue our commercial objectives.

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or via social media), the information of the inquiring persons is processed, if necessary in order to respond to the requests and to any requested actions.

The response to the contact inquiries in the context of contractual or pre-contractual relationships is carried out to fulfill our contractual obligations or to respond to (pre)contractual inquiries and otherwise on the basis of legitimate interests in responding to the inquiries.

• Types of data processed: inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. entries in online forms)
• Data subjects: Communication partners
• Purposes of processing: contact requests and communication
• Legal basis: Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR)

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Date and time of the request
• Name of the requested file
• Page from which the file was requested
• Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
• Web browser and operating system used
• Complete IP address of the requesting computer
• Amount of data transferred

This data is not merged with other data sources. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.  

For reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, we store this data for a short period of time. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons on the basis of this data. After seven days at the latest, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a link to the individual user. The data is also processed anonymously for statistical purposes; it is not compared with other data or passed on to third parties, even in part. Only within the context of our server statistics, which we publish every two years in our activity report, is a presentation of the number of page views made.

When you visit our website, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of session cookies, the responsible party can provide the users of this website with a user-friendly service that would not be possible without the cookie setting. Without consent, we only use technically necessary cookies on the legal basis of legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google

Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be played on the basis of the user data available at Google (e. g.

location data and interests) can be displayed (target group targeting). We as website operator

can evaluate this data quantitatively by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here:

Social buttons from social networks are used on our website. These are only integrated into the page as HTML links, so that when you call up our website, no connection is yet established with the servers of the respective provider. If you click on one of the buttons, the website of the respective social network opens in a new window of your browser. There you can, for example, press the Like or Share button.

This website uses Brevo to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin.

Brevo is a service that, among other things, allows for the organization and analysis of newsletter campaigns. The data you provide to subscribe to the newsletter is stored on the servers of Sendinblue GmbH in Germany.

Brevo enables us to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter was opened and which links, if any, were clicked. This allows us, among other things, to determine which links were clicked particularly frequently.

We can also determine whether certain predefined actions were taken after the newsletter was opened or a link was clicked (conversion rate). For example, we can determine whether you made a purchase after clicking a link in the newsletter.

Brevo also allows us to categorize (“cluster”) newsletter recipients into different groups. For example, newsletter recipients can be grouped by age, gender, or place of residence. This allows us to better tailor the newsletter to the respective target audience.

If you do not wish to be analyzed by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.

For detailed information on Brevo’s features, please visit the following link: https://www.brevo.com/de/newsletter-software/.

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. The lawfulness of data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by this revocation.

Data that you have provided to us for the purpose of sending the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other reasons remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be added to a blacklist maintained by us or the newsletter service provider, to the extent necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used exclusively for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your and our interest in complying with legal requirements regarding the distribution of newsletters (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). Data is stored on the blacklist indefinitely. You may object to this storage provided that your legitimate interests outweigh our legitimate interests.

For more information, please refer to Brevo’s privacy policy at: https://www.brevo.com/de/datenschutz-uebersicht/ and https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/.

We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for the use of the aforementioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law that ensures that Brevo processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Purpose of data collection

We generally use your personal data to respond to your inquiry, process your order, or provide you with access to specific information or offers. Further information on data protection can also be found on this website. However, we would also like to facilitate your job search. You can therefore apply for jobs with us directly online or by e-mail. We assure you that your data will be treated confidentially. The data you provide will be processed and used exclusively for the purpose of selecting applicants.

What data is collected?

We only collect the information required for an application process with us.

When you apply for a position with us, you will be asked for certain personal data (name, address, e-mail). In addition, position-related questions may be asked. For an application at our company, it is also mandatory to include your professional background.

Please note that your data will not be stored anonymously, but will be accessible to the HR department and to the departments at our company that are relevant to the position.

Application information

By submitting your application, you represent that the information you have provided is true and accurate. Please note that any false statement or omission may be grounds for rejection or subsequent dismissal.

We seek applicants regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, belief, disability, age or sexual identity. We do not require any information from you that is not usable under the General Equal Treatment Act. Please also do not forward to us any confidential internal information or even trade secrets of your former or current employer. In addition, please do not provide any unnecessary information regarding: Illnesses, pregnancy, ethnic origin, political views, philosophical or religious beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health, sex life, defamatory or honorable information, as well as information that has nothing to do with the job profile.

Who processes the data?

The data we collect is processed exclusively internally or by contractually affiliated service providers. Personal data is only passed on for specific purposes within the framework of order processing in accordance with data protection regulations to bodies that, for example, operate our servers or provide certain services. These bodies are located in Germany and in the countries of the EU and are bound by contractual obligations and data protection instructions to handle personal data in accordance with data protection law.

The data and files you provide will be processed and used exclusively for the purpose of processing your application. The data and files you provide may, if your application is successful, be further processed and used by us in an employment relationship for employment purposes. If the application for a job offer is unsuccessful, we will store the submitted data and files in an applicant database for six months in order to be able to answer subsequent questions about the application. After six months, the data and files are deleted. It is possible to withdraw the application at any time. If you withdraw your application, your data and files will be deleted from the applicant database immediately, subject to the restrictions listed below. Furthermore, as part of the application process, you can request at any time that individual data or files you have submitted to us be deleted. However, we reserve the right to store a limited amount of your data for a limited period of three months in order to comply with legal requirements, in particular obligations to provide evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

With whom do we share your personal data?

The information you provide to us will be treated confidentially and will only be passed on to those persons who are involved in a specific application process. Your personal data will only be passed on to other Group companies with your separate, explicit consent.

Please refer to the relevant notice on this website.

Right of access, editing and deletion of your resume

You can access, edit or delete your resume at any time. You may also ask us to assist you in doing so.

Please understand that, for legal reasons, it is not possible to change or delete data during an ongoing application process or for a period of approximately three months after the end of an ongoing application process.

We use the AcquireTM service - software provided by EON Applications, Inc., 300 E. Davis St., Suite 147, McKinney, TX 75069, USA - to post job openings and to conduct and manage application processes.

The AcquireTM application portal is embedded on our website via an iFrame. When you visit a page on our website where the application portal is embedded, a connection is established to the servers of EON Applications, Inc. In the process, technical information - in particular your IP address, information about the device and browser you are using, web log information, and information regarding your use of the application portal - may be processed. AcquireTM states that it processes, among other things, IP addresses, device information, and web logs.

Processing of Application Data

If you use the application form provided via AcquireTM, we process the personal data you provide as part of your application. This may include, in particular:

• Name and contact information
• Details regarding your education, qualifications, and professional history
• Information from your resume
• Application and cover letter
• Answers to questions during the application process
• Other application documents and information you voluntarily submit
• As well as technical data generated in connection with the use of the application portal

AcquireTM provides the technical platform for this purpose. According to its own statements, EON Applications, Inc. processes the application data as a data processor on behalf of the respective company that posted the job opening. Responsibility for the application data and its processing in compliance with data protection regulations remains with us as the controller for the hiring process.

The legal basis for the processing of your application data is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR in conjunction with Section 26(1) of the BDSG, to the extent that the processing is necessary for the decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship.

To the extent that special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR are processed, this is done only if there is a corresponding legal basis for doing so or if you have expressly consented to the processing. Any consent given may be revoked at any time with future effect.

Technical Integration and Cookies

AcquireTM uses cookies and similar technologies. According to information provided by EON Applications, Inc., technically necessary cookies are used in particular for functions such as session management, authentication, security features and load balancing. In addition, depending on the specific configuration of the service, functional, analytics, and marketing cookies, as well as comparable technologies such as local storage, session storage, and web beacons, may be used.

To the extent that cookies or similar technologies that are not technically necessary are used via the integrated AcquireTM portal, their use is based solely on the consent required for this purpose, provided that such consent is required under applicable law.

The specific processing may depend on the technical configuration of our AcquireTM account.

Transfer to the U.S.

EON Applications, Inc. is headquartered in the U.S. Processing of personal data by EON Applications, Inc. may therefore involve the transfer of or access to personal data from a third country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. For such transfers, we ensure that the requirements of Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR are met. Where necessary, appropriate safeguards are implemented for the transfer of personal data to third countries.

The specific legal basis and the transfer mechanism used depend on the contractual and technical structure of the AcquireTM service we use.

Data Processing on Behalf of EON Applications, Inc.

We have entered into the necessary data protection agreements with EON Applications, Inc. regarding the processing of personal data, to the extent that EON Applications, Inc. acts as a data processor on our behalf.

EON Applications, Inc. notes that additional service providers or subprocessors may be engaged to provide its services. According to EON, processing by such service providers is carried out on the basis of corresponding data processing agreements.

Retention Period

We store your application data only for as long as is necessary to conduct the application process or as long as statutory retention requirements or legitimate interests justify further storage. If we wish to store your application data after the application process has been completed for a talent pool or for future consideration for other job openings, this will be done, where necessary, based on your consent.

Our general information on retention periods in this Privacy Policy also applies to the specific retention period for application data processed via AcquireTM.

Additional Information

For more information about AcquireTM's processing of personal data, please see the EON Applications, Inc. Privacy Policy: https://www.acquiretm.com/privacy/#applicant-policy

We have implemented technical and administrative security measures to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access. All our employees and service providers working for us are bound by the applicable data protection laws.

Whenever we collect and process personal data, it is encrypted before it is transmitted. This means that your data cannot be misused by third parties. Our security measures are subject to a continuous improvement process and our data protection statements are constantly being revised. Please make sure that you have the latest version.

You have a right to information, correction, deletion or restriction of the processing of your stored data at any time, a right to object to the processing as well as a right to data portability and to lodge a complaint in accordance with the requirements of data protection law.

Right of access by the data subject

You can request information from us as to whether and to what extent we process your data.

Right to rectification

If we process your data that is incomplete or incorrect, you can request that we correct or complete it at any time.

Right to erasure (right tob e forgotten)

You can demand that we delete your data if we process it unlawfully or if the processing disproportionately interferes with your legitimate interests in protection. Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate deletion, e.g. in the case of legally regulated retention obligations.

Irrespective of the exercise of your right to deletion, we will delete your data immediately and completely, provided that there is no legal or statutory obligation to retain data in this respect.

Right to restriction of processing

You may request us to restrict the processing of your data if.

• you dispute the accuracy of the data, for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the data,
• the processing of the data is unlawful, but you refuse erasure and request restriction of data use instead,
• we no longer need the data for the intended purpose, but you still need this data to assert or defend legal claims, or
• you have objected to the processing of the data.

Right to data portability

You may request that we provide you with your data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and that you may transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that

• We process this data on the basis of a revocable consent given by you or for the performance of a contract between us, and
• This processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures

If technically feasible, you may request us to transfer your data directly to another controller.

Right to object

If we process your data for legitimate interest, you may object to this data processing at any time; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. You may object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time without giving reasons.

Right of complaint

If you are of the opinion that we violate German or European data protection law when processing your data, please contact us to clarify any questions. Of course, you also have the right to contact the supervisory authority responsible for you, the respective state office for data protection supervision.

If you wish to assert any of the aforementioned rights against us, please contact our data protection officer. In case of doubt, we may request additional information to confirm your identity.

We reserve the right to change our privacy policy if necessary due to new technologies. Please make sure that you have the most current version. If fundamental changes are made to this privacy statement, we will announce them on our website.
