2 Technique
2.1 SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as contact requests, order requests or login data that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a "https://" instead of a "http://" in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

3 Collection and storage of personal data
3.1 Data collection when visiting the website
When you use our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information each time you or an automated system access a page. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data can be collected
browser types and versions used,
the operating system used by the accessing system,
the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
the date and time of an access to the website,
the Internet Protocol (IP) address,
the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. This information is rather required in order to

deliver the contents of our website correctly,
optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website and  
provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

Therefore, the data and information collected will be used by us for statistical purposes only and for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed below.

3.2 Data collection when contacting us via e-mail and when using the contact form
When contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. The personal data entered in the input mask is used to protect our secrecy interests and to prevent misuse of the contact form, in particular by determining from whom an inquiry originates. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If your contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.


3.3 Data collection in application management
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the Equal Treatment Act (GIG).

In this respect, the data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

4 Collection, processing, storage and transfer of data
Your personal data will not be collected, processed, stored and/or transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only share your personal information with third parties if:

You have given your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO,
this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DSGVO for the processing of contractual relationships with you,
in the event that there is a legal obligation for the transfer according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) DSGVO,
the processing is necessary to protect vital interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) DSGVO of the data subject or another natural person,
the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e) DSGVO, 
as well as the disclosure according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DSGVO is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data.

5 Newsletter dispatch
5.1 Newsletter dispatch to existing customers
If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services, such as those already purchased, from our range by e-mail. In accordance with Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. In this respect, the data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, no mail will be sent by us. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the responsible person named at the beginning. After receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will cease immediately.

5.2 Advertising newsletter
On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. Which personal data are transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter, results from the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about our offers. The newsletter of our company can be received by you in principle only if

you have a valid e-mail address and
you have registered to receive the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address that you entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that you, as the owner of the email address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the IT system used by you at the time of registration, as assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to track the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in the technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, you will find a corresponding link in each newsletter.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

5.3 Newsletter tracking
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Company can see if and when an e-mail was opened by you and which links in the e-mail were called up by you.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically interpret an unsubscription from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interests in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of our website.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a prescribed storage period expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
