For the duration of the visit to the website, the following data is processed and stored in log files even after the connection has ended: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Browser type and version<\/li>\n<li>Operating system<\/li>\n<li>Pages and files accessed<\/li>\n<li>Amount of data transferred<\/li>\n<li>Date and time of access<\/li>\n<li>The user's internet service provider<\/li>\n<li>IP-Adress<\/li>\n<li>Referrer URL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The processing of this data is necessary to deliver the website to the user and to optimize it for their device. Storing this data in log files helps improve the security of our website (e.g., protection against DDoS attacks). <\/p>\n<p>The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in providing the website and improving website security. Log files are automatically deleted after 14 days.    <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cookies-zaehlpixel-und-mobile-identifier\">Cookies, web beacons, and mobile identifiers<\/h2>\n<p>We use technologies on our website to recognize the device you are using. These may include cookies, web beacons, and\/or mobile identifiers. <\/p>\n<p>The recognition of a device can generally serve various purposes. It may be necessary to provide certain features of our website, such as a shopping cart. In addition, the technologies mentioned may be used to track user behavior on the site, for example for advertising purposes. We describe in detail which technologies we use and for what purposes in this Privacy Policy.   <\/p>\n<p>To help you better understand, we\u2019ve provided a general explanation below of how cookies, web beacons, and mobile identifiers work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cookies are small text files that contain specific information and are stored on the user\u2019s device. In most cases, this information consists of an identification number assigned to the device (cookie ID). <\/li>\n<li>A web beacon is a transparent image file that is embedded in a webpage and enables log file analysis.<\/li>\n<li>A mobile identifier is a unique number (mobile ID) stored on a mobile device that can be read by a website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cookies may be necessary for our website to function properly. The legal basis for the use of such cookies is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in providing the functions of our website.    <\/p>\n<p>We use cookies that are not necessary for the operation of our website to make our site more user-friendly or to track how our website is used. The legal basis for this depends on whether the user\u2019s consent must be obtained or whether we can rely on a legitimate interest. The user may revoke any consent given at any time, for example by adjusting their browser settings.  <\/p>\n<p>Users can prevent and object to the processing of data via cookies by adjusting the settings in their browser. If you object, not all features of our website may be available. We provide separate information in this Privacy Policy regarding other options for objecting to the processing of personal data via cookies. Where applicable, we provide links that allow you to object. These are labeled \u201cOpt-Out.\u201d    <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"kontaktaufnahme\">Contact Us<\/h2>\n<p>When you contact us, we process your information, as well as the date and time, for the purpose of handling your inquiry, including any follow-up questions.<\/p>\n<p>The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in responding to inquiries from our users. An additional legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.      <\/p>\n<p>The data will be deleted as soon as the inquiry, including any follow-up questions, has been answered. We review at regular intervals, but at least every two years, whether any data collected in connection with contact requests needs to be deleted. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"newsletter\">Newsletter<\/h2>\n<p>Users have the option to subscribe to our newsletter on our website. When they do so, we process the data provided during registration in order to send a confirmation email to the user\u2019s email address. After confirmation, we process the data to send out newsletters. For personalization purposes, we may also process the user\u2019s name, provided the user has provided it.   <\/p>\n<p>When you log in, the date, time, and IP address are stored to verify your login. We continue to process this data for verification purposes after you log out and delete it at the end of the year, three years after it was collected. <\/p>\n<p>The legal basis for the processing is the user\u2019s consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. In all other cases, processing is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interests include sending newsletters, addressing the user in a personalized manner, and verifying that the user has subscribed to the newsletter.      <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stellenbewerbungen\">Applications<\/h2>\n<p>When users apply for a job, we process personal data for the purpose of the application process. In addition to the data provided by the user, we process any additional data collected during the application process (e.g., during an interview). If we add data to a candidate pool, we do so only with the user\u2019s prior consent. In this case, the data will be processed beyond the conclusion of the application process so that we can contact the user when suitable job openings arise.   <\/p>\n<p>Applicant data will be deleted three months after the application process is completed. If an applicant is added to a candidate pool, the data will be retained for a maximum of two years, unless consent is revoked earlier. <\/p>\n<p>The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. If consent has been given for inclusion in a candidate pool, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. After the application process has been completed, processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in defending against potential claims under the General Equal Treatment Act.          <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"weitere-drittdienste\">Other third-party services<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google Analytics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website.
