Collection of general information when visiting our website
Nature and purpose of the processing:
When you access our website, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise submit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address and similar.
In particular, this data is processed for the following purposes:
- Ensuring smooth connection to the website,
- Ensuring smooth use of our website,
- Evaluation of system security and stability, and
- to optimise our website.
We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your identity. We statistically analyse information of this kind, anonymously, if necessary, in order to optimise our website and the technology behind it.
Legal basis and legitimate interest:
The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.
Recipients:
Recipients of the data may be technical service providers who act as order processors for the operation and maintenance of our website.
Storage period:
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is generally the case for data used to provide the website when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after 7 days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are anonymised so that assignment to the calling client is no longer possible.
Provision prescribed or required:
The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website is not guaranteed. In addition, individual services may not be available or may be restricted. For this reason, an objection is excluded.

Applications / Applicant data
We process data you send us in connection with your application in order to assess your suitability for the position (or other open positions in our companies, if applicable) and to carry out the application process.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is primarily Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Law (BDSG) in the version applicable from 25.05.2018. According to this, the processing of data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permissible.
Should the data be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest is then in the prosecution.
Data of applicants will be deleted after 6 months in case of rejection.
In the event that you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There, the data will be deleted after two years.
If you have been awarded a position during the application process, the data from the applicant data system will be transferred to our personnel information system. Your applicant data will be viewed by the HR department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to department heads for the respective open position. The further procedure is then coordinated. In principle, only those persons in the company have access to your data who need this for the proper operational sequence of our application procedure.
The data is processed exclusively in data centres in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Information about your right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR
Right to object on a case-by-case basis
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.
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 to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
