Notice regarding data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not considered secure with respect to data protection laws, among others. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that in these countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed.
US companies are particularly required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the affected party, being able to take legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation is unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases as well as against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA RELATING TO SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement. The right to complain exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Information, deletion, and correction
You have the right at any time under the applicable legal provisions to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time in this regard. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
– If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
– If the processing of your personal data was unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
– If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
– If you have filed an objection under Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be conducted. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction on the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

YouTube with enhanced privacy
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode. Thus, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video or not.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is made to YouTube's servers. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.
When you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) after starting a video. In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts.
If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is done in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing occurs solely on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Paragraph 1 TDDDG, as far as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in the sense of the TDDDG.

The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform representation of the font on their website. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a of the GDPR and Section 25 paragraph 1 of the TDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in terms of the TDDG.

If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conferencing tool.
The conference tools collect all the data you provide/use for the tools (email address and/or your phone number).

Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared during the use of the service.

If you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes during the application interviews, etc.) as far as this is necessary for the decision on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Subsequently, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention is particularly for evidential purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is clear that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or imminent legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further retention ceases.
