If personal data are processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
If we process data on the basis of a weighing up of interests, you as the person concerned have the right to object to the processing of personal data, taking into account the provisions of Art. 21 DSGVO.

In order for the pages to be displayed in your browser, the IP address of the terminal device you use must be processed. Additional information about the browser of your terminal device is also processed.
We are obliged under data protection law to also guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the personal data processed with our IT systems.
For this purpose and out of this interest, the following data is recorded on the basis of a weighing of interests:

- Name of the retrieved file

The IP address will be deleted after 7 days at the latest from all systems used in connection with the operation of these Internet pages. We can then no longer establish a personal reference from the remaining data.
The data is also used to determine and correct errors on the Internet pages.
Contact form
We offer a contact form on our website, which you can use to request information about our products or services or to contact us in general. We have marked the data you are required to answer an inquiry as mandatory fields. Information on other data fields is voluntary.
We need this information in order to process your inquiry, to address you correctly and to send you an answer. The data processing is carried out for concrete inquiries for the fulfilment of a contract or the initiation of a contract. In the case of general enquiries, processing is based on a weighing of interests.
Inquiries received via the contact form on our website are processed electronically by us in order to answer your enquiry. In this context, other persons or departments and possibly third parties may also become aware of the contents of the form you have sent.
The transmission of the form data via the Internet is carried out via encrypted connections.
Contact by e-mail
If you contact us by e-mail, we need your personal data. We collect, process or use your personal data only to the extent and for as long as we need it to provide our services to you. We delete your personal data after we have provided our service to you, unless we are legally obliged to store your personal data for a longer period of time. Please note our special instructions if you apply to us by e-mail or send us information to initiate a business relationship.
Data processing for the purpose of application
We offer you the opportunity to apply for open positions on our website. Selected employees are available to you for this purpose. You are welcome to send them your application documents. We will review your documents and inform you of the result of our review. If we do not decide in your favour as a new employee, we will block your personal data and delete it after a maximum of five months.
Data processing for the purpose of initiating business
If you contact us for the purpose of initiating a business transaction (e.g. a description of the matter under review, a specific question, sending of documents), we will store this e-mail in our system. How long we may use your e-mail and any attachments is determined by the respective requirements.
Newsletter subscription / advertising and market research
You can also subscribe to an e-mail newsletter on our website. We use the so-called Double-Opt-In procedure. Here, a confirmation e-mail is first sent to your specified e-mail address with a request for confirmation. The subscription only becomes effective when you click on the activation link contained in the confirmation mail. We use your data transmitted to us exclusively for sending the newsletter, which may contain information or offers. In addition to the voluntary information in the respective form, we only process your e-mail address for this purpose. However, this is also absolutely necessary in order to send you the newsletter.
You can cancel the newsletter at any time, e.g. in your user account. Alternatively, you will find a link to unsubscribe in every newsletter e-mail.
In order to be able to analyse the popularity of our newsletters and to optimise them, we log when e-mails are opened and links are clicked. This usage analysis is based on a weighing of interests. You can object to this processing by unsubscribing from the newsletter.
We use rapidmail to send our newsletter. Your data will therefore be transmitted to rapidmail GmbH. In doing so, rapidmail GmbH is prohibited from using your data for any other purpose than for sending the newsletter. rapidmail GmbH is not permitted to pass on or sell your data. rapidmail is a German, certified newsletter software provider which has been carefully selected in accordance with the requirements of the DSGVO and the BDSG.
