Please note that the United States is not considered a secure third country under EU data protection law. U.S. companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without providing data subjects with effective legal remedies against such disclosures.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing // Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.
The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of your consent remains unaffected by such withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) // IF THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (RIGHT TO OBJECT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(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 FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES. 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 (RIGHT TO OBJECT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority // In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability // You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for 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 be carried out where technically feasible.

SSL and TLS Encryption // This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in your browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol displayed in the browser address bar.

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

Access, Erasure, and Rectification // Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose, as well as for any further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing // You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we have stored about you, we will generally require time to verify the matter. 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 has been or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of the erasure of your personal data.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have objected to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out between your interests and ours. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have requested the restriction of the processing of your personal data, such data may—apart from being stored—only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

7. Our Own Services

Handling Applicant Data // We offer you the opportunity to apply for positions with us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of the personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal requirements and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection // If you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary for the decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (general pre-contractual measures), and—if you have given your consent—Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with individuals involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period // If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six months following the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). After that, the data will be deleted and any physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiration of the six-month period (e.g., due to a pending or threatened legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for continued retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also take place if you have given your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Data transfers to the United States are based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875, and https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.
