This website makes use of Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (www.google.com). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files that are stored on your computer and which enable your visit and use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website is normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and saved there. In the event that IP anonymisation has been activated on this website, your IP address will, however, be abbreviated beforehand by Google within Member States of the European Union or other states which are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Your full IP address will only be sent to a Google server in the USA and saved there in exceptional circumstances. IP anonymisation technology is active on this website. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about website activity and to perform additional services associated with the use of the website and internet for the benefit of the operator. Google cannot combine the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of the Google Analytics service with any other data. You can block websites from saving cookies by adjusting the settings in your web browser software as appropriate; we would, however, like to point out that in doing so you will not be able to use the complete array of functions available on this website to their full extent.
You can also prevent cookies from collecting data relating to your use of this website (including your IP address) as well as prevent them from being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available by clicking on the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.

We use the Google Adwords service from the provider Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to make people aware on external websites of our attractive offers with the help of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords). Our aim is to display advertisements to you which you find of interest, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs.
These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”. To do this, we use ad server cookies which can measure certain parameters to measure performance, such as the display of adverts or clicks by the users. If you come to our website via a Google advert, Google AdWords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies generally become invalid after 30 days and are not intended to be used to personally identify you. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post view conversions) and opt-out information (marker that the user would no longer like to be contacted) are generally stored with this cookie as analysis values.
These cookies allow Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits specific pages of the website of an AdWords customer and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, both Google and the customer will be able to recognise that the user has clicked on the advert and was taken to our webpage. Each AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the mentioned advertising activities. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. We are able to recognise based on these evaluations which of the advertising activities used are particularly effective. We do not receive additional data from the use of the advertising media, in particular we cannot identify the users based on this information.
Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence over the scope and the further use of data which is collected by Google through the use of this tool and we therefore inform you according to our information status: By incorporating AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or you have not logged in, the provider may come to know and store your IP address.
You can prevent your participation in this tracking process in different ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular rejecting third party cookies means that you will not receive any adverts from third party providers; b) disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain “ www.googleadservices.com” are blocked, https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; c) disabling the interest-related adverts from the providers who are part of the self-regulated campaign “About Ads” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; d) permanently disabling in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome via the link https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=en. We would like to point out that you may not be able to make full use of all of the functions on this website.
(6) The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6(1)f of the GDPR.
More information about data privacy at Google can be found here: http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) website at https://www.networkadvertising.org.
Google also processes your personal data in the United States. This data is transmitted and processed only on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses for data transfers, which Google accepts to their full extent.
Our website uses Google Ads remarketing functions to appear in Google’s search results and on third-party websites. The provider is Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in your device’s browser which automatically enables Internet-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID which is based on the pages you visit. The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests of marketing our website as effectively as possible in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Any further processing will only occur if you have agreed with Google that your Internet and app browsing history will be linked to your Google account by Google and information from your Google account will be used to personalise your ads on the web. If, in this case, you are logged into Google when you visit our website, Google will use your data, together with Google Analytics data, to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google will temporarily link your personal data with Google Analytics data to create audiences.
You can permanently disable advertising cookies by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
Alternatively, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s website at www.aboutads.info to find information about the setting of cookies as well as change your preferences. Finally, you can configure your browser so that you are notified about the setting of cookies and can decide to accept them or reject them in specific cases or always reject them. Refusing to accept cookies may restrict the functionality of our website.
Google LLC, headquartered in the United States, processes your personal data in accordance with EU standard contractual clauses for data, which guarantee compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU. Further information and the data protection provisions for advertising and for Google can be viewed here: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/
The data controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service which allows the placement of advertisements on third-party websites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm which selects advertisements displayed on third-party websites to match the content of the respective third-party website. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.
The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. An explanation of what cookies are has been provided above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. provides an analysis of the use of our website. Each time a data subject accesses one of the pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller for processing and which has a Google AdSense component integrated into it, the Internet browser on the data subject's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purposes of online advertising and commission settlement. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. receives personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to establish the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlement.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by configuring their Internet browser accordingly and permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Configuring an Internet browser in this way would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, it is possible to delete a cookie which has already been set by Alphabet Inc. via the Internet browser or another software program.
Google AdSense also uses what is known as tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature image which is embedded in websites to enable recording and analysis of log files, which allows a statistical evaluation to be performed. Using this embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can detect if and when a website has been opened by a data subject and which links the data subject has clicked on. Tracking pixels are used, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.
Through Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and accounting of the displayed advertisements, is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may disclose the collected personal data through this technical procedure to third parties.
An explanation of Google AdSense is provided here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/adsense/start/.
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). reCAPTCHA is supposed to verify whether the data input on our website (e.g. in a contact form) is carried out by a person or by an automated program. To do so, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on different features. The analysis begins automatically, as soon as the website visitor accesses the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA assesses different information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected for the analysis is provided to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
Data processing is carried out based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting their website against improper automated spying and against spam. You can find further information on Google reCAPTCHA and the Google privacy statement here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

(1) Furthermore, our website uses Facebook Inc.’s (‘Facebook’) remarketing function ‘Custom Audiences’ with the Facebook pixel. This allows website users to view interest-based advertisements whilst visiting the social networking site Facebook or other websites that also use the function (‘Facebook-Ads’). In doing so, our aim is to display advertisements that are of interest to you. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) of the GDPR.
(2) Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Facebook’s server. We have no influence over the scope and the further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and we therefore inform you according to the current extent of our knowledge: with the Facebook Pixel embedded, Facebook is informed that you have accessed the corresponding page on our website or have clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or you have not logged in, the provider may find out and store your IP address and further identifiers.

We also collect and process personal data of candidates for the purposes of managing the application process that we conduct. In this case, processing may also be carried out electronically. This is always the case if the candidate transmits application documentation to us electronically, i.e. by e-mail or via an online form on our website. If we enter into an employment contract with a candidate, the transmitted data will be stored for the purposes of managing the employment relationship whilst complying with legal regulations. If an employment contract is, however, not entered into between us and the candidate, the application documentation will then be deleted four months after notification of the refusal, provided no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose such deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, burden of proof in a process according to the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). We would like to assess all candidates only in accordance with their qualification and therefore request that you omit from your application any information concerning race and ethnicity, political opinions, religious or ideological beliefs or any trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data to clearly identify a natural person, health data or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation.
If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject under the GDPR and have the following rights with regard to the data controller:
You have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not your personal data are being processed.
Where that is the case, you have the right to obtain access to the following information from the data controller:
You have the right to obtain from the controller the rectification and/or completion of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. The data controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.
You have the right to obtain the restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
If the processing of your personal data is restricted, this data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the processing of your personal data is limited pursuant to the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.
Erasure obligation
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of your personal data without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
Informing third parties
Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.
Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
Right to be informed
If you have exercised your right to obtain rectification, erasure or restricted processing from the data controller, the data controller must inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You also have the right to be informed of these recipients by the data controller.
You have the right to receive personal data you have provided to the data controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This may not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent until its withdrawal.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
In all cases, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(2)1) of the GDPR, unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 of the GDPR.
