With your registration you agree to receive the newsletter and to the procedure described\u00a0below.<\/p>\n<p>In order to ensure that the newsletter is sent with recipients&#8217; consent, we use the so\u2011called double opt\u2011in procedure. Here, the potential recipient receives a confirmation email to confirm the registration in a legally compliant manner. Only if the confirmation is given, the email\u00a0address will be added to our distribution list. In order to prove that you agree to receive the newsletter, we log the registration process; this includes the recording of the time of registration and confirmation, the IP\u00a0address if applicable, and any changes to your stored data. This logging is done on the basis of our legitimate interest in proof of a proper\u00a0registration.<\/p>\n<h4>Newsletter\u00a0data<\/h4>\n<p>If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we need from you an email address as well as information that allow us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and consent to the receipt of the newsletter.

For instance, it allows us to see whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if so, which links may have been clicked. This enables us to determine which links drew an extraordinary number of clicks. In addition, technical information may be collected, including information about your software and your IP\u00a0address.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, we are also able to see whether once the e\u2011mail was opened or a link was clicked, any previously defined actions were taken\u00a0(conversion\u00a0rate). This allows us to determine whether you have made e.g. a download after clicking on the\u00a0newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>We may use the data collected in this way to improve our newsletter. If, for technical reasons, individual pieces of information can possibly be assigned to individual recipients, it is not our intention to track individual readers; rather, this data may be used to identify the reading habits of our recipients as a whole and subsequently to provide newsletter content in line with the interests of our\u00a0readers.<\/p>\n<p>A separate objection to this data analysis is not possible; to object to the analysis, the entire newsletter reception must be objected to.

Custom Services<\/h3>\n<h4>Handling applicant\u00a0data<\/h4>\n<p>We offer website visitors the opportunity to submit job applications to us\u00a0(e.g., via e-mail, via postal services on by submitting the online job application form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you in conjunction with the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory provisions and that your data will always be treated as strictly\u00a0confidential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scope and purpose of the collection of\u00a0data<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you submit a job application to us, we will process any affiliated personal data\u00a0(e.g., contact and communications data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship. The legal grounds for the aforementioned are \u00a7 26 BDSG according to German Law (Negotiation of an Employment Relationship), Art.\u00a06(1)(b)\u00a0GDPR\u00a0(General Contract\u00a0Negotiations) and \u2013 provided you have given us your consent \u2013 Art.\u00a06(1)(a)\u00a0GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals who are involved in the processing of your job\u00a0application.<\/p>\n<p>If your job\u00a0application should result in your recruitment, the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of \u00a7\u00a026\u00a0BDSG and Art.\u00a06(1)(b)\u00a0GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship in our data processing\u00a0system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Data Archiving\u00a0Period<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests\u00a0(Art.\u00a06(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure\u00a0(rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterwards the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6\u2011month period\u00a0(e.g.,\u00a0due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer\u00a0applies.<\/p>\n<p>Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement\u00a0(Article\u00a06(1)(a)\u00a0GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the\u00a0deletion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Admission to the applicant\u00a0pool<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we do not make you a job offer, you may be able to join our applicant pool. In case of admission, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in case of suitable\u00a0vacancies.<\/p>\n<p>Admission to the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express agreement\u00a0(Art.\u00a06(1)(a)\u00a0GDPR). The submission agreement is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application procedure.\u00a0<strong>The\u00a0affected person can revoke his agreement at any\u00a0time<\/strong>.\u00a0In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons for\u00a0storage.<\/p>\n<p>The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been\u00a0granted.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator margin_bottom=&#8221;40&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1711012611505{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;border-top-color: #e8e8e8 !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}&#8221;]Created with the privacy statement generator of eRecht24\u00a0(version 1.39.0 from 5\u00a0February\u00a02024).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1626775028715{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;border-top-color: #eeeeee !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;privacy&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1551438650655{margin-top: 75px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1711379005463{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;border-top-color: #e8e8e8 !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}&#8221;] 1.
