In this context – with the exception of the purposes of fulfilling the contract, cf. Clause 8 – no transfer of data to third parties takes place. The data is used exclusively for communication with the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing

Data processing for the purpose of making contact is carried out based on point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR and your freely given consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail or using the contact form is also Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to enable us to contact you. If the contact is aimed at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

3. Purpose of the data processing

Personal data is processed solely for the purpose of processing the contact.

4. Categories of recipients of personal data and data processing outside the European Union

We do not pass on personal data to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by law or we have given consent to do so. Exceptions to this are the involvement of the service provider, which enables hosting of the website. Data is not processed outside the European Union.

5. Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data sent by e-mail or contact form, this is when the respective conversation with the user has ended.
The conversation ends when it can be concluded from the circumstances that the matter in question has been clarified. Further retention periods may arise from the German Fiscal Code or the German Commercial Code.

6. Possibility of objection and elimination

If the user contacts us by e-mail, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. If the user objects, the conversation cannot be continued. In this case, all personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted, unless statutory retention periods prevent this.

 

VII. Career / job portal

In our Careers section, you can use our online form to apply for advertised vacancies or submit a speculative application.

When you access the Careers section on our website, the link integrated in this page establishes a connection to rexx systems in order to enable the technical transfer of the application documents. Data is transferred to rexx systems when this connection to rexx systems is made. On any visit to the rexx systems website, rexx systems will normally save the IP address as assigned to you by your internet service provider (ISP). Personal data that we exclusively for the purpose of processing your application will only be stored if you provide us with this data yourself in the context of your application. In this case, the information is entered either voluntarily or, where indicated with an asterisk (*), as required information. We require these fields to be completed so that we can process your application and stay in contact during the application process. Your digital candidate file contains all of the data you entered as a candidate as well as our entire contact history. The data is processed exclusively for the purpose of processing the application in line with point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR, based on your freely given consent, or for making a decision to establish an employment relationship in accordance with section 26(1) sent. 1 of the German Data Protection Act (BDSG).

3. YouTube

We have integrated YouTube videos into our website. These videos are stored at http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. The videos are all embedded in "enhanced privacy mode", which means that if you do not play the videos, no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube. Only when you play the videos will personal data be transferred. We have no control over this data transfer. It is possible that your data on YouTube or Google may be transferred to the USA and thus to an unsecure third country under data protection law. Unsecure third countries do not offer a level of data protection comparable to EU standards. No other guarantees are offered to compensate for this deficit. There is a risk that the transfer could result in government bodies accessing your data without you having effective legal protection

If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish the data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such evaluations are carried out (even for users who are not logged in) in particular to deliver needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to these user profiles being created. To exercise this right, you must contact YouTube.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube, please see the relevant privacy policy. The policy also provides you with further information about your rights and about the settings you can adjust in order to protect your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de.

We use third-party cookies to provide external media. When our videos are played, data is transferred to YouTube or Google and thus potentially to a third country that is unsecure under data protection law. You can find more information on transmission to third countries in our data protection declaration.

Statistical cookies are used to assess how you use our website, e.g. how you move around the page, which pages you visit the most. The information helps us to improve the user-friendliness and quality of our website. We use the services of eTracker GmbH for web analysis. You can find information on this in our data protection declaration.
